Configure ADS in a distributed environment.
This Microsoft-authorized, Windows Server 2008 training course covers ADS features, leverages intensive, hands-on labs, and addresses the 70-640 exam's knowledge areas.
In this comprehensive course you will not only discuss the crucial concepts and best practices of Active Directory, but you will also discover through hands-on exercises the Active Directory roles available in Windows Server 2008. Gain the knowledge and skills to configure Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) in a distributed environment. Build the foundational skills needed to implement Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS), configure Active Directory Rights Management Services (AD RMS) settings, and manage Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) components. You will also create and configure Group Policies, perform backup and restore, and monitor and troubleshoot Active Directory-related issues.
This course incorporates materials from the Official Microsoft Learning Products 6424: Fundamentals of Windows Server 2008 Active Directory and 6425: Configuring Windows Server 2008 Active Directory Domain Services.
