Windows Server 2008 Network Infrastructure, Part 3 of 5

Course description

When adding Windows Server 2008 to a network environment there are many networking items to be considered. This course will start with the installation of the Windows Server 2008. The OSI model or stack is explained and then how it relates to the TCP/IP stack. You will then see how name resolution used with a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) and how it relates to MAC or IP addresses. Next is Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and how it relates to MAC and IP addresses. Security is always a prime concern and the course will discuss how Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) is used to secure a network from intrusions. You will learn about managing resources, configuring services, and remote access. Then again back to security on how to secure network access with Microsoft Server 2008.

Each LearnNowOnline training course is made up of Modules (typically an hour in length). Within each module there are Topics (typically 15-30 minutes each) and Subtopics (typically 2-5 minutes each). There is a Post Exam for each Module that must be passed with a score of 70% or higher to successfully and fully complete the course.

Prerequisites

The users must have an understanding of computers and computer networks. Previous experience with Microsoft Server is helpful.
