Course 1561 - Designing a MS Windows 2000 Directory Services Infrastructure

This course is designed to meet the needs of current Windows 2000 systems administrators who need to learn how to design an Active Directory structure for their organisations based on business, management, and network factors, or who need to prepare for Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer exam #70-219. Students taking this course should be very familiar with how to install, configure, and administer an Active Directory domain.

Course Objectives

After you've finished this course, students will learn the following:

• Identify the factors you should consider when designing the Active Directory.
• Select appropriate names for your DNS and Active Directory domains.

• Design an Active Directory infrastructure.

Course 1562 - Designing a MS Windows 2000 Network Infrastructure

This course provide students with the information and skills needed to create a networking services infrastructure design that supports the required network applications. Each module provides a solution based on the needs of the organization. Some Microsoft Windows 2000 network solutions require a single technology, such as DHCP, to provide Internet Protocol (IP) address configuration support. In other situations, several technology options exist, such as Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), Routing
Information Protocol (RIP), and Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP), to design an IP routing scheme.

Course Objectives

After you have finished this course, you will learn the following:

• Describe the attributes of a Windows 2000 networking services infrastructure design.
• Define the design requirements for a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) solution, design a DHCP solution for automating IP configuration and design a DNS service for name resolution.
