COURSE 9700 | 5-day SESSION
Hands-On Windows Server 2008®
Course Details

Five years in the making, Windows Server 2008 presents a myriad of subtle and fundamental differences in its basic architecture compared to its predecessor. This dramatically changes not only the way it is used in the enterprise, but also the logical and physical structure of networks where it is the dominant operating system. The prospect of migrating mission-critical applications to this new environment presents a tremendous risk to any organization. Hands-on skills and proper understanding of the complexities of Windows Server 2008 will provide a phenomenal return on investment for any organization.

This powerful five-day Hands-On Course will give you the skills and knowledge you need to master Windows Server 2008 and get the most benefit by minimizing downtime and maximizing performance, both immediately and in the long term. Gain an in depth knowledge of some of the most radical and beneficial attributes of Windows 2008 Server, and prepare to avoid its pitfalls and work around its flaws.

Microsoft says the abilities to consolidate servers, manage hardware more effectively, remotely manage hardware, and vastly improve security are all good reasons for Windows Server 2003 and Windows 2000 users to migrate. But how will all the new bells and whistles affect your company? How will it affect your hardware? Windows Server 2008 has the ability to drop the GUI and be driven by command line, which enhances security. This is great for Unix/Linux admins, but is it right for your company?
