MS2282 - Designing a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Active Directory and Network Infrastructure
This course provides students with the knowledge and skills to design a Microsoft Active Directory directory service and network infrastructure for a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 environment. The course is intended for systems engineers who are responsible for designing directory service and/or network infrastructures.
After completing this course, students will be able to describe the process of designing an Active Directory
infrastructure and a network infrastructure that supports Active Directory; design a forest and domain infrastructure
that meets the needs of an organization; design a site infrastructure that meets the needs of an organization; design a Group Policy structure that meets the needs of an organization; design an administrative structure that meets the needs of an organization; design a physical network structure that supports Active Directory and meets the needs of an organization; design a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) structure that supports Active Directory and meets the needs of an organization; create a design for network connectivity that supports Active Directory and meets the needs of an organization; design a name resolution strategy that supports Active Directory and meets the needs of an
organization and design a network access infrastructure that supports Active Directory and meets the needs of an
organization.
