MS2210 - Updating Systems Engineer Skills from Microsoft Windows 2000 to Windows Server 2003
This three-day course provides students with the knowledge and new skills that they need to plan and maintain a Microsoft Windows Server™ 2003 networked environment and consists primarily of labs that provide hands-on experience focused exclusively on the skills and objectives that align with Exam 70-296. This course is intended for Microsoft Windows® 2000 systems engineers with experience planning, implementing, and supporting a Windows 2000-based Microsoft Active Directory® directory service network. After completing this course, students will be able to plan a Domain Name System (DNS) strategy for an enterprise organization; plan for an implementation of Active Directory and for Active Directory replication; implement Active Directory and DNS; troubleshoot Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), name resolution, and Group Policy; plan and implement cross-forest trusts and new security options.; use Group
Policy in Windows Server 2003 to deploy and restrict software; use Group Policy in Windows Server 2003 to set advanced security settings and plan and implement secure Routing and Remote Access.
