MS2276/2277 Implementing, Managing, and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Network Infrastructure: Network Hosts and Services FAST TRACK

Those who are employed as or seeking employment as a systems administrator or systems engineer.

This course provides students with the knowledge and skills to implement, manage, and maintain a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 network infrastructure. The course is intended for systems administrators and systems engineers who are responsible for implementing, managing, and maintaining server networking technologies.

This FAST TRACK course combines MS2276 (2 day) and MS2277 (5 day).

With a quicker pace of delivery, these courses are designed for individuals with existing Windows experience who need to achieve MCSE level skills. The course provides students with the knowledge and skills to configure a Windows-based computer to operate in a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 networking infrastructure. Particular emphasise is placed in understanding and managing TCP/IP.

Given the nature of "Fastrack" courses, delegates will need to be prepared to spend study time in the evenings to fully cover the syllabus.

After completing this course, students will be able to:

• Configure a host to use a static IP address

• Assign IP addresses in a multiple subnet network

• Describe the IP routing process

• Configure a host to obtain an IP address automatically

• Configure a host so that automatic private IP address configuration is disabled

• Configure a host to use name servers

• Isolate common connectivity issues - Install and configure routing by using the Routing and Remote Access service

• Install and configure the DHCP Server service

• Manage and monitor DHCP

• Configure host and network basic input/output system (NetBIOS) names resolution

• Install and configure the DNS Server service

• Manage and monitor DNS

• Secure IP traffic by using IPSec and certificates

• Describe the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) protocol architecture

• Calculate a subnet mask

• Convert Internet Protocol (IP) addresses between decimal and binary

• Create subnets

• Install, configure, and manage WINS

• Implement a network access infrastructure by configuring the connections for virtual, dial-up, and wireless clients

• Manage and monitor remote connections in a network access infrastructure

For this fast track course 12 months experience of second or third line support of a Windows 2000 based infrastructure would be the recommended minimum level of exposure. Delegates will be expected to have successfully completed:

MS2274/75 or

MS2274 and MS2275
