In this vRA 7 walk-through I will be providing step-by-step walk-throughs for items specific to vRA 7. If a component has not changed between vRA 6 and vRA 7 I will simply be linking the topic to the vRA 6 article that has already been written on the subject. I may if needed add some notes to the existing articles to point out anything that may be slightly different. Articles mark verified have had the existing VRA 6.x article verified to also be compliant with vRA7.
