Windows 2000

Overview

This course is geared toward Windows 2000 system administrators, support technicians, or network administrators (current or aspiring). While a high degree of familiarity with Windows (95/98/NT) is assumed, prior system administration experience with any other Windows platform is not.

It is important to note that this is not an Introduction to Computing course. It does not teach any computing fundamentals, but rather focuses on 2000 as an operating system and how that OS can be manipulated to serve an organization's interest.

Windows 2000 boasts many improvements over NT 4.0, the largest of which is the switch from the NT 4.0 flat domain to Windows 2000 flexible and hierarchical Active Directory. A serious attempt at standardizing the look and feel of all of the administrative tools has been made. This is accomplished through the implementation of the Microsoft Management Console (MMC).

The emphasis of this course is learning the concepts that will allow students to use the tools to administer Windows 2000. It is written from a system administrator’s point of view and will combine theory with practice. Students should gain an academic understanding and feel confident to administer Windows 2000 in real world situations. Many changes and features have been added to this latest version of NT and the largest changes will be covered.
