Hortonworks is offering training but there are now even more tutorials available for HDInsight.
On codeplex there is a Microsoft .Net SDK for Hadoop kit for available.
Github has a series of 5 labs covering C#, JavaScript and F# coding.
HDInsight
Finally got around to installing HDInsight on a new Windows Server 2012 environment on my laptop. In case you have not been following the news HDInsight is Microsoft’s answer to the Big Data problem. It has been in preview mode online through http://www.hadooponazure.com and available for download on the SQL Server site. This last week Microsoft announced that the HadoopOnAzure site was going to be formally added to the offerings available on Azure.
Brief History
HDInsight is not a 100% Microsoft product and is a partnership between Microsoft and HortonWorks. The underlying code is still Java based but Microsoft has added a Javascript console and some extensions to allow programming in .Net languages.
Current training for HDInsight is available through the HortonWorks website. As soon as I find MS training I will post a link.

Installation of HDInsight is extremely easy through the Web Platform Installer. Just search for Hadoop or HDInsight. (Technet install guide)
After a complete installation you will have the following links on your desktop

KnowledgeLake Capture Profile Administration
One of the issues I ran into with creating an automated deployment of Capture Clients to a large number of field users was importing profiles. It seemed that until every single user that has access to the machine had successfully logged in and created a Windows User Profile that the KL Capture Profile Administration Utility would not provide a user with a profile.
The blurred sections are the user accounts.
The top one has all the test user accounts I have been working with. And I want all the accounts to get the Scan(SIT2) account. Even accounts that have not logged into the machine.
To resolve this is issue right-click on Scan(SIT2) and select Set As Default.
Now all the profiles will have this profile available to them. The Default profile is also highlighted with a checkbox.
This functionality is also available when you run the KnowledgeLake Capture Client the first time and create a profile. There is a checkbox in the wizard that allows you to set a profile as default.
