NET 173 - Configuring Advanced Windows Server Services

Credits: 4
Lecture Hours: 1
Lab Hours: 6
Practicum Hours: 0
Work Experience: 0
Course Type: Voc/Tech
Covers implementing, managing, maintaining and provisioning services and infrastructure in a Windows Server environment. This course focuses on advanced configuration of services necessary to deploy, manage and maintain a Windows Server infrastructure, such as advanced networking services, Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS), Active Directory Rights Management Services (AD RMS), Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS), PowerShell scripting, Network Load Balancing, Failover Clustering, business continuity and disaster recovery services as well as access and information provisioning and protection technologies such as Dynamic Access Control (DAC), and Web Application Proxy integration with AD FS and Workplace Join. This course covers the current objectives for the Microsoft Certification Exam.
