to pursue advanced topics. This course is also useful for those
migrating from competitive platforms to Windows Server 2008.
Candidates for this course are seeking to gain fundamental
knowledge and skills around security, networking, and
administration in Windows Server 2008 R2. It can apply to home
computer users, academic, information workers, developers, or help
desk technicians wishing to begin a new skills path or up-skill to
Windows Server technologies.
It is for candidates wishing to prepare for the Microsoft
Technology Associate (MTA) certification in Windows Server 2008.
Candidates for this course may also include IT Pros with skills
within other IT areas or operating systems (such as Linux) who wish
to gain an insight into Windows Server.
Prerequisites
In addition to their professional experience, students who
attend this training should have the following technical
knowledge:
· A good fundamental knowledge of general computing equivalent with
the CompTIA A+ Certification
· An ability to understand basic security, networking and
administration concepts
· Some previous knowledge and experience with desktop operating
systems, although this is not mandatory
Note: No programming skills are required, although some experience
and knowledge of scripting technologies would be advantageous.
Course Objectives
Upon successful completion of this course, delegates will have the
necessary skills to:
· Describe fundamental network components and terminology thus
enabling you to select an appropriate network component in a
particular scenario.
