Windows System Administration

Students Will Learn:
  • Windows Server Installation
  • Powershell Administration
  • User and Group Configuration
  • Permissions and Security Management
  • Active Directory Architecture and Installation
  • Clustering and Server Virtualization
  • System Backup and Update Management
  • IPv4 and IPv6 Network Addressing

Course Description:: This course provides hands on experience installing and configuring Windows Server. Students will perform full installations, switch between GUI and Server Core features, configure and tune the server and assign roles and services. Attendees will practice local and remote administration of security, network, data and hardware in hands on labs. After installing an Active Directory domain controller, students will create and assign users, groups, permissions, rights, policies and profiles.

Attendees will configure and troubleshoot the TCP/IP network, utilize Powershell cmdlets, and implement a backup strategy. Also covered are many aspects of local security, such as group policy objects (GPO), Encrypting File System (EFS), rights and permissions. Students will learn to use enterprise tools such as Distributed File System (DFS) and File System Resource Manager (FSRM) to manage file storage and accessibility, as well as facilitate clustering and virtualization. Comprehensive labs and exercises give the students real experience deploying, managing and troubleshooting the Windows 2012 infrastructure.

Course Prerequisites:Understanding of Windows Vista or Windows 7 Aero interface and Control Panel applets.

Follow-up Course: Designing and Implementing Windows Server  Network Infrastructure and Security
