Description:
The goal of this course is to 1) provide students with an examination of the
role of small computer systems within an organization's information
systems environment; and 2) prepare students for the real-world challenges
of a Microsoft networking professional. It is designed for students
interested in the new Microsoft Windows XP Professional and Server
2003 networking technology, but not immediately interested covering the
MCSE/MCSA Exam objectives. This course will introduce you to
Microsoft Windows 2003 Server through lectures, demonstrations,
discussions, and hands-on labs. You will perform an attended installation
of Windows 2003 Server, and you will learn about the various file systems
supported by Windows 2003. You will learn how to install and administer
Active Directory services and how to manage Active Directory objects.
You will use Microsoft Management Console to monitor system
performance, to administer Internet Information Services, and to
administer user accounts, group accounts, and group policies. You will
learn how to administer print services. You will learn how to install and
administer network protocols and services such as DHCP, TCP/IP, and
DNS. You will learn how to back up data, implement disaster protection,
and recover from a disaster.
