Windows Server 2008 Administration

Duration: 5 Days | Price: Contact a Career Consultant for pricing

Description: This course provides hands on experience installing and configuring Windows Server 2008 to work with clients including Windows Vista. Students will perform full and core CD-based standard installation, deploy an image, configure and tune the server and assign roles and services. Attendees will practice local and remote administration of security, network, data and hardware in hands on labs. After installing an Active Directory domain controller, students will create and assign users, groups, permissions, rights, policies and profiles.

Attendees will configure and troubleshoot the TCP/IP network, create custom consoles and Powershell scripts, and implement a backup strategy. We’ll investigate network products, such as Internet Information Server (IIS) 7.0, Terminal Services, and Sharepoint. Local security, such as group policy objects (GPO), Encrypting File System (EFS), BitLocker, rights and permissions and the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA) will be followed by network security including Network Access Protection (NAP), Firewall, Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), and Network Level Authentication. Students will use enterprise tools such as System Center, clustering, virtualization, Distributed File System (DFS), and File System Resource Manager (FSRM). Comprehensive labs and exercises give the students real experience deploying, managing and troubleshooting the Windows 2008 infrastructure.

Prerequisites: Understanding of a Microsoft Windows Environment and familiarity with the desktop, files and folders. Previous server administration is helpful but not required.
