This course will cover many aspect of administration of Windows Server 2008, starting with preparing for deployment, network infrastructure and Active Directory. Once the server is in place Group Policies will need to be created and the course will show you how to do that. After that comes application servers, file and print services. The most important part of any network is security and we will cover that. From there the courses moves to server administration, monitoring and maintenance and then cover disaster recovery. At the end the newest of technologies virtualization is covered with the Microsoft Hyper V technology.
