Designing a Microsoft Windows 2000 Networking Services Infrastructure Training in Boulder Colorado

This course provides students with the information and skills needed to create a networking services infrastructure design that supports the required network applications. Each module provides a solution based on the needs of the organization. Some Microsoft Windows 2000 network solutions require a single technology such as DHCP to provide Internet Protocol (IP) address configuration support. In other situations several technology options exist such as Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) Routing Information Protocol (RIP) and Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) to design an IP routing scheme.
