Course Description
This version of this course is built on the finalrelease version of Windows Server 2012.
Learn how to provision and configure advancedservices using Windows Server 2012 with this five-day course. This course ispart three, in a series of three courses that provides the skills and knowledgenecessary to implement a core Windows Server 2012 infrastructure in an existingenterprise environment. The three courses will collectively cover implementing,managing, maintaining and provisioning services and infrastructure in a WindowsServer 2012 environment. Although there is some cross-over of skills and tasksacross these three courses, this course primarily covers advanced configurationof services necessary to deploy, manage and maintain a Windows Server 2012infrastructure, such as advanced networking services, Active Directory DomainServices (AD DS), identity management, rights management, Federated services,network load balancing, failover clustering, business continuity and disasterrecovery.
