This instructor-led Active Directory training course provides students with the knowledge and skills to design an Active Directory directory service and network infrastructure for a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 environment.

This Active Directorty course is intended for:

• Systems engineers who are responsible for designing Microsoft directory service and/or Microsoft network infrastructures.
• Individuals who are employed as or seeking employment as a systems engineer in a Windows Server 2003-based environment.

This Active Directory course requires delegates to:

• They have taken Course 2278, Planning and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Network Infrastructure and Course 2279, Planning, Implementing, and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Active Directory Infrastructure or have equivalent knowledge and experience

On completion of this Active Directory training course, students should be able to:

• Describe the process of designing an Active Directory infrastructure and a network infrastructure that supports Active Directory
• Design a forest and domain infrastructure that meets the needs of an organisation
• Design a site infrastructure that meets the needs of an organisation
• Design a Group Policy structure that meets the needs of an organisation
• Design an administrative structure that meets the needs of an organisation
• Design a physical network structure that supports Active Directory and meets the needs of an organisation
• Create a design for network connectivity that supports Active Directory and meets the needs of an organisation
• Design a name resolution strategy that supports Active Directory and meets the needs of an organisation
• Design a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) structure that supports Active Directory and meets the needs of an organisation
• Design a network access infrastructure that supports Active Directory and meets the needs of an organisation

This unit introduces general design principles and the process of designing a Windows Server 2003 Active Directory infrastructure.

This unit 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.

This unit explains how to design a site topology to organise the Windows Server 2003 network in your organisation and optimise the exchange of data and directory information.

This unit explains how to design your administrative structure to delegate authority and simplify administrative overhead and design an organisational unit structure in a Windows Server 2003 environment.

This unit describes how to gather and analyse business requirements and other data and then use that data to design a Group Policy structure and integrate the structure into an organisational 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 unit also covers why and how to design a change management structure.

This unit describes how to gather business requirements and other data and then analyse 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 Siser tool.

The unit 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.

This unit describes how to design networking services for connectivity and protocol requirements for organisations. Also, this unit describes networking solutions that establish a network foundation, provide access to public networks, and support network-based applications and authentication methods.

This unit describes the relationship between Active Directory and DNS domain names, Windows Internet Name Service (WINS), and other name-resolution strategies.

This unit describes how to design a network access infrastructure by gathering relevant data, and then analysing and using that data to design for network access security, remote access, and wireless access. The unit includes strategies for authentication, administration, access monitoring, interoperability, and user education.
