Program Outline
Module 1: Introduction to Designing an Active Directory and Network Infrastructure
This module introduces general design principles and the process of designing a Windows Server 2003 Active Directory infrastructure.
Module Objectives
After completing this module students will be able to:
Module 2: Designing a Forest and Domain Infrastructure
This module covers the first major design decisions when creating an Active Directory and network infrastructure. The Active Directory logical structure and the design of forests and domains. Key elements of the forest and domain design are naming and in the case of a multiple-forest design trusts. These decisions must take into account any existing structure and provide a migration solution from the existing structure to the new design.
Module Objectives
After completing this module students will be able to:
Module 3: Designing a Site Infrastructure
This module explains how to design a site topology to organize the Windows Server 2003 network in your organization and optimize the exchange of data and directory information.
Module Objectives
After completing this module students will be able to:
Module 4: Designing the Administrative Structure
This module explains how to design your administrative structure to delegate authority and simplify administrative overhead and design an organizational unit structure in a Windows Server 2003 environment.
Module Objectives
After completing this module students will be able to:
Module 5: Designing for Group Policy
This module describes how to gather and analyze business requirements and other data and then use that data to design a Group Policy structure and integrate the structure into an organizational unit design. It describes the role of Group Policy in the Active Directory infrastructure and factors in choosing particular implementations such as security software deployment and administrative requirements. The module also covers why and how to design a change management structure.
Module Objectives
After completing this module students will be able to:
Module 6: Designing the Physical Network
This module describes how to gather business requirements and other data and then analyze and use that data to design the physical network. It explains how to design a connectivity infrastructure with considerations for intrasite and intersite connectivity router placement connection types and virtual private networks (VPNs). It also describes how to design a domain controller structure and how to use the Active Directory Sizer tool.
The module also covers why and how to design a change management structure for networking including monitoring. Finally the students will create a physical network according to a scenario.
Module Objectives
After completing this module students will be able to:
Module 7: Designing for Network Connectivity
This module describes how to design networking services for connectivity and protocol requirements for organizations. Also this module describes networking solutions that establish a network foundation provide access to public networks and support network-based applications and authentication methods.
Module Objectives
After completing this module students will be able to:
Module 8: Designing a Name Resolution Strategy
This module describes the relationship between Active Directory and DNS domain names Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) and other name-resolution strategies.
Module Objectives
After completing this module students will be able to:
Module 9: Designing the Network Access Infrastructure
This module describes how to design a network access infrastructure by gathering relevant data and then analyzing and using that data to design for network access security remote access and wireless access. The module includes strategies for authentication administration access monitoring interoperability and user education.
Module Objectives
