1 Designing a Windows Server 2008 Applications Infrastructure Course Number: 6437A Course Length: 3 Days Course Overview This three day course will prepare IT professionals for the role of Enterprise Administrator. Students will learn how to design application infrastructure solutions based on Windows Server 2008 to meet varying business and technical requirements. Prerequisites Before attending this course, students must have one or more of the following: Intermediate understanding of networking. For example, how TCP/IP functions, addressing (including DHCP), name resolution (DNS/WINS), and connection methods (wired, wireless, VPN), NET+ or equivalent knowledge Intermediate understanding of network operating systems. For example, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003 etc. Intermediate understanding of security best practices. For example, file system permissions, authentication methods, Kerberos etc. Intermediate knowledge of server and network hardware. Conceptual understanding of Active Directory (AD). For example, AD terminology, AD object types Hands-on experience with more than one application service such as: IIS Terminal Services Windows Media Services Virtual Server Hyper-V System Center Virtual Machine Manager Audience The primary audience for this course is IT professionals (including Windows 2000/2003 enterprise administrators) interested in becoming a Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Administrator with a focus on application infrastructure such as web and terminal services. The secondary audience for this course is Application Architects who want to know more about how to integrate Windows Server 2008 technologies into enterprise applications.
