Course Description

The purpose of this course is to instill the practical skills required to perform simple day-to-day administrative tasks as well as simple maintenance tasks.

Course Objectives

Administrative skills learned include:

Ø      Administering User Accounts

Ø      Manipulating Local and Global groups

Ø      Setting permissions and security on files and folders

Ø      Troubleshooting strategies

Ø      Remote Administration

Ø      Simple disaster recovery

The student will also learn maintenance tasks such as:

Ø      Converting FAT file systems to NTFS

Ø      Applying Service Paks

Ø      Using License Manager to add Licenses for new workstations

Ø      Configuring Windows 95/98 workstations

Ø      Clock synchronization

 This course is not intended to replace the Microsoft Certified NT Administration course or to prepare students for the writing of the certification exams.  This course is geared towards the non-IT professional, who may need to do simple day-to-day administration in a small office environment.  However, I believe that all students will take a great deal from the course.

 Each Student will have the use of one NT Server and one Windows 98 workstation to learn on and experiment with.  This course stresses hands-on.
