C16: Monitors and Corrects Performance
Students monitor and correct performance of a Windows 2008 server in this course.
Students correct performance and predict impact of specific actions while working with
lab partners. Students identify trends and gather information by monitoring system
performance.
C17: Improves and Designs Systems
Students have to plan and design the installation of Servers, and complete the
configuration and troubleshooting (DNS, WINS DHCP, IPv6 TCP/IP, etc…). Changes
are then made to improve the design and performance of the system.
