Technology Implementing and Administering Security in a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Network Training in Boston Massachusetts

This five-day instructor-led course addresses the MCSA and MCSE skills path for IT Pro security practitioners, specifically addressing the training needs of those preparing for the 70-299 certification exam.

The primary product focus is on Microsoft Windows ServerT 2003 based infrastructure solutions but will include some client focused content where appropriate. This learning product is to provide functional skills in planning and implementing infrastructure security.

This course is part of the Security Portfolio and will act as the primary entry point for IT Professionals at the implementation level. MOC 2810 will provide an entry point for students to broaden their awareness of security issues. Students will be encouraged to enhance their security design skills by attending MOC 2830.

Remote access enables remote access clients to access corporate networks as if they were directly connected to the corporate network. The remote access clients connect to the network by using dial-up communication links. The security of a network is compromised if unauthorized remote users gain access to intranet-based resources. An effective network access security design ensures confirmation of the identity of the clients attempting to access your organization's network resources and protection of specific resources from inappropriate access by users.
