OVERVIEW:

 

The Windows 2003 Server Related Theory course is designed to prepare students for the MCSE certification exam and for the challenges students will face as a Microsoft networking professional. Lectures, projects and exercises reinforce skills as they are learned.

 

The related theory course is conducted via teacher led discussions and Computer Based Training (CBT),  whose goal is to teach the students how to learn with minimal instruction.  Since most of the information required by an Information Technology Technician is learned post-high school, the current Related Theory structure allows the students to develop and practice this important skill.

 

The course duration is based on a 5 day non-shop Week.  One topic is covered per non-shop week in Telecom Related Theory.  Students usually have 4 days to study the material and practice the labs using the Windows 2003 Simulator. 

 

TOPICS:

 

Topics include: Introduction to Active Directory, Name Resolution and DNS, Active Directory Design Philosophy, Active Directory Architecture , Active Directory Logical Design, Active Directory Physical Design, Active Directory Replication, Operations Masters, Active Directory Authentication and Security, Managing Users, Groups, and Resources, Group Policy for Corporate Policy, Deploying and Managing Software with Group Policy, Monitoring and Optimizing Active Directory, and  Disaster Recovery
