20411 Administering Windows Server 2012 Category: Technical Microsoft Duration: 5 days Objectives This 5 day course is part two, of a series of three courses, which provide the skills and knowledge necessary to implem ent a core Windows Server 2012 Infrastructure in an existing enterprise environment. The three courses in total will collectively cover implementing, managing, maintaining and provisioning services and infrastructure in a Wi ndows Server 2012 environment. While there is some crossover in skill set and tasks across the courses this course will primarily cover the administration tasks necessary t o maintain a Windows Server 2012 infrastructure, such as user and group management, network access and dat Objectives a security. Lesson objectives help students become comfortable with the course, and also provide a means to evaluate learning. Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to: Implement a Group Policy infrastructure. Manage user desktops with Group Policy. Manage user and service accounts. Maintain Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS). Configure and troubleshoot Domain Name System (DNS). Configure and troubleshoot Remote Access. Install, configure, and troubleshoot the Network Policy Server (NPS) role. Implement Network Access Protection (NAP). Optimize file services. Configure encryption and advanced auditing. Deploy and maintain server images. Implement Update Management. Monitor Windows Server 2012. Prerequisites To ensure your success in this course, it is recommended that you have: At least one year of experience working with Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2 or Window s Server 2012. Good knowledge and understanding of Active Directory and networking infrastructure. Knowledge equivalent to that already covered in 20410A:Installing and Configuring Windows Server 201 2.
