Course: 596   Type: Hands-On Training   Duration: 5 Days
 
 

You Will Learn How To

  • Organise and maintain a Windows Server 2003 Active Directory (AD) enterprise
  • Build a precise and purpose-oriented Organisational Unit (OU) structure
  • Construct an efficient replication topology for your network and site layout
  • Delegate administration and optimise group policy deployment
  • Deploy an appropriate DNS architecture and namespace
  • Restructure domains and forests without interrupting your business operation

Course Benefits

The Active Directory has become a corporate standard in providing a unified architecture for single sign-on, identity management and desktop configuration. In this comprehensive hands-on course, you learn the essential skills needed to design, implement and support an Active Directory enterprise. You gain the skills to configure the DNS architecture and build site replication topology.

Who Should Attend

Anyone who needs to organise and maintain a Windows Server 2003 infrastructure as an enterprise business solution. Course 595, "Windows Server 2003 Comprehensive Introduction", or equivalent knowledge is assumed.

Hands-On Training

Throughout this course, you gain practical experience in building, organising and managing the Active Directory. Extensive hands-on exercises, models and case studies include:
  • Restructuring and merging domains and forests
  • Building the AD-integrated DNS namespace
  • Creating site links for optimal replication
  • Setting up an infrastructure for delegation
  • Backing up the AD and restoring authoritatively
  • Deploying applications automatically
  • Optimising inter/intra site multimaster replication
  • Preparing the AD for Microsoft Exchange
  • Migrating users, groups and security between forests
