Networking Microsoft Systems course description A hands-on course covering the network aspects of Microsoft systems. The course progresses from basic TCP/IP tools and configuration settings through to advanced security considerations finishing with an overview of Exchange and IIS. Hands on sessions are based on a choice of Windows Server 2003 or Windows 2000 server and Windows XP or Windows 2000 professional. Customised versions with other Microsoft platforms are also available. What will you learn Design networks with consideration for Microsoft issues such as logons. Design, configure and troubleshoot TCP/IP, DNS, WINS and DHCP. Configure security features such as PKI and IPSec. Describe the Windows TCP/IP implementation details.
