Audience
Students should be CNE candidates or technical support personnel responsible for diagnosing and resolving problems with NetWare networks. Participants should have an understanding of (or experience with) personal computers operating systems and network technology; experience with DOS; a working knowledge of Windows 95 or Windows NT Workstation; and experience using NetWare. In addition students should have taken the first part of this series (course 82211). This course series is an approved study guide that will help certification candidates prepare for exam 50-635 and is equivalent to Novell class 580.
