2207A Expert Track: Updating Systems Administrator and Systems Engineer Skills from Microsoft Windows 2000 to Windows Server 2003
Introduction
This five-day, instructor-led workshop provides students with the knowledge and new skills that they need to plan, implement, manage, and maintain a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 networked environment.
This discovery-based workshop consists primarily of labs that provide hands-on experience focused exclusively on the skills and objectives that align with Exam 70-292: Managing and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Environment for an MCSA Certified on Windows 2000, and Exam 70-296: Planning, Implementing, and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Environment for an MCSE Certified on Windows 2000.
Audience
This workshop is intended for expert Windows 2000 systems engineers who plan, implement, and support Windows 2000-based networks running Microsoft Active Directory directory service, and who need to quickly leverage their skills in a Windows Server 2003 environment. The workshop assumes extensive, day-to-day practical, hands-on experience using Windows 2000 and a preference for learning by doing and discovering in a non-prescriptive lab environment. For a more traditional learning experience, see Course 2297: Planning, Implementing, Managing and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Environment for an MCSE on Windows 2000.
