Infrastructure Server roles. It is also intended for IT
professionals who could benefit from acquiring the skills required
by a Windows Server 2008 Network Infrastructure Server
Administrator, such as a Server Administrator who is responsible
for network servers that will work closely with Enterprise
Administrators and who want to understand the operational lifecycle
of Windows Server 2008 Network Infrastructure Server roles.
Course Objectives
Upon successful completion of this course, delegates will have the
necessary skills to:
• Create a plan for managing the addition, removal, and migration
of Windows Server 2008 Network Infrastructure Server roles.
• Develop baselines for monitoring and managing Windows Server 2008
Network Infrastructure Server roles.
• Evaluate performance baselines and establish monitoring rules,
and design acceptable thresholds and alarms when problems
occur.
• Analyze the implementation and configuration of a network
environment running several network policy and access server
roles.
• Plan for the implementation and configuration of a RAS.
• Evaluate and plan for the deployment of DNS and DHCP Server
roles.
• Maintain security for network infrastructure servers.
Prerequisites
Students should have several years of experience deploying and
