About this class

This five-day, instructor-led course provides experienced delegates with the knowledge and skills to implement, manage, and maintain a Microsoft Windows ServerTM 2003 network infrastructure.

Note: This course combines the following two Microsoft courses:

• M2276, Implementing a MS Windows Server 2003 Network Infrastructure: Network Hosts
• M2277, Imp, Man & Mntg MS Win Server 2003 Network Infrastructure: Network Services.

Due to the accelerated nature of this course delegates are expected to be experienced network engineers. In addition, as this is a blended learning offering, some evening study will be required during the course.

Who will the lesson benefit?

The course is intended for experienced systems administrator and systems engineer candidates who are responsible for implementing, managing, and maintaining server networking technologies. These tasks include implementing routing; implementing, managing, and maintaining Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), Domain Name System (DNS), and Windows Internet Name Service (WINS); securing Internet Protocol (IP) traffic with Internet Protocol security (IPSec) and certificates; implementing a network access infrastructure by configuring the connections for remote access clients; and managing and monitoring network access.

What delegates will learn

Delegates will be able to:

• Understand the function of each of the protocols and how the protocols relate to each other, you have the context for understanding network administration tasks and network troubleshooting.
• Construct and assign IP addresses and how to isolate addressing issues associated with the IP routing process.
• Configure an IP address for a client computer running Microsoft Windows Server 2003.
• Describe the various types of name resolution mechanisms provided by the Windows operating systems and how to use and configure them for clients on your network.
• Isolate common connectivity issues and describes how to use utilities and tools as part of this process.
• Configure a routing solution for your network environment.
• Allocate IP addressing in a network environment.
• Manage the DHCP service to reflect changing client IP addressing needs. It also provides you with the knowledge and skills to monitor DHCP server performance, because the DHCP environment is
• Allocate IP addressing in a network environment.
• Manage the DHCP service to reflect changing client IP addressing needs. It also provides you with the knowledge and skills to monitor DHCP server performance, because the DHCP environment is dynamic.
• Assign computer names to the IP addresses of the source and destination hosts, and then use the computer name to contact the hosts.
• Resolve host names by using Domain Name System.
• Manage and monitor DNS servers to ensure that they are functioning properly and to optimise network performance.
• Use WINS to register NetBIOS names and resolve them to IP addresses.
• Secure network traffic and to use certificates with IPSec for increased security.
• Configure a server with the Routing and Remote Access service, create appropriate remote access connections on a network access server, and configure users' access rights.Manage and monitor network access.

What prerequisites are required

• A+ certification or equivalent knowledge and skills.
• Network+ certification or equivalent knowledge and skills.
• Completion ofM2273 Managing and Maintaining a Windows Server 2003 Environment or equivalent knowledge and skills.
