* Forums: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums (redirects to http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/de-de, http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-us, etc. for different language settings with different content)
* Evaluation Center: http://technet.microsoft.com/evalcenter/ (redirects to http://technet.microsoft.com/de-de/evalcenter/, http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/, etc. for different languages, although the content should be the same). Redirecting to {{URL|https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/}} as of July 2020.
* Downloads: https://technet.microsoft.com/subscriptions/securedownloads/ (there are also localized variants but they offer the same content). This is where the 11TB of downloads are. You need a TechNet account (~200€ per year) to access most of the stuff. You could only get one until August 2013, after which TechNet registration closed down.
* Blogs: blogs of Microsoft employees. The blogs were "archived" in July 2019 and are available at {{URL|https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/archive/blogs/}} (together with [[MSDN]] ones) as of July 2020.
* Wiki: {{URL|https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/}}, to be migrated<ref>{{URL|https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/teamblog/msdn-technet-migration}}</ref>
* Library: technical documentation for professionals and advanced users. The Library content was migrated into Docs in 2019 and is redirecting to there since January 2020.

* [[User:Mithrandir]] ran [[Talk:TechNet#Partial_backup|a wget grab]] on the main site in July 2013, which is definitely incomplete.
