MS Server 2016 – Networking with Windows Server 2016

Course Info:

Course Introduction

This course is designed to prepare students for the Windows Server 2016 (70-741) certification exam. The 70-741 certification exam is the second step on the path to becoming a Microsoft Certified Solutions Associate (MCSA)

In this course, students obtain the skills and knowledge required to understand IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, subnetting, and Border Gateway Protocol, and to install, configure, and manage DHCP servers, DNS Servers, and DNS zones and records. Students will learn IP Address Management (IPAM) configuration, IPAM management of DHCP and DNS, network connectivity and remote access with NAT, VPNs, and DirectAccess, secure remote authentication with RADIUS, NPS, and WAP. Students will also learn about DFS and Branch Office Solutions, advanced network infrastructures with NIC Teaming, SET, RSS, DCB, SMB, SDN, SLB, Hyper-V with NVGRE, and VXLAN.

Course Prerequisites

Experience in the IT field, including completion of Installation, Storage, and Compute with Microsoft Windows Server 2016 70-740, or equivalent.

Course Notes

A student manual is provided for ongoing reference. The course consists of 11 graded quizzes and a final exam. Participants who receive 75% or higher on their final grade will receive a certificate.

Due to the dynamic nature of the IT industry, job success mandates that an individual not only learn the theory, but also obtain the skills to locate resources that provide answers and help solve problems on the job. We encourage our students to develop research and study skills that will help them make the transition from the classroom to the work environment. Independent thinking is required of anyone considering IT courses and a career in Information Technology.
