Course specifications

Course number: 077 524 Maps to: Microsoft

Software version number: 5.0 Course: 1560B

Course length: 5 day(s) Exam #: 70-240

Hardware/software required to run this course

To run this course, you will need one Windows 2000 Server computer to act as a classroom forest-root

Active Directory domain controller; one Windows 2000 Server computer for the instructor; one

Windows NT 4.0 Server computer for each student to upgrade to Windows 2000 Server; and one

Windows 9x computer for every student lab station to upgrade to Windows 2000 Professional. (A

student lab station will contain three computers: a Windows NT 4.0 PDC, a Windows NT 4.0 member

server, and a Windows 9x client. The Windows 9x client computer for the instructor is optional.)

Each computer will need:

 

At least 64 megabytes (MB) of Random Access Memory (RAM) for the Windows 2000

Professional computers; at least 128 MB of RAM for the Windows 2000 Server computers.

 

A 2 GB hard drive or larger. If you intend to copy installation files to hard disks, allow an extra

1 GB of hard disk space.

 

A Pentium processor, 166 MHz or higher.

 

A VGA or higher resolution video card and monitor, capable of displaying 800 x 600 screen

resolution.

 

A mouse or compatible tracking device.

 

A 12X or faster CD-ROM drive.

 

A 3.5”, 1.44 MB floppy-disk drive.

 

A network interface card and network cable. We recommend that you “mini-net” or otherwise

isolate your classroom from other portions of your network.

 

Depending on the computer’s classroom role, one or more of the following: Windows 95 OSR-2

with IE 4.0, or Windows 98; Windows NT Server 4.0; Windows 2000 Server; Windows 2000

Professional. (If you prefer, you can use Windows 2000 Advanced Server or Datacenter Server

instead of Server.)

 

Four blank floppy diskettes for each student and the instructor.

 

If you do not have a bootable Windows 2000 Server Installation CD-ROM available for each

student and the instructor, you will need four additional disks to create boot floppies.

 

Display projector for instructor’s computer and optional display projector for classroom server.

See your reference manual for hardware considerations that apply to your specific hardware setup.

Course description

Overview: Windows NT administrators will learn how to support Windows 2000 networks.

Prerequisites:

 

Windows NT 4.0: System Architecture and Network Support and Implementing and

Supporting TCP/IP on Windows NT 4.0

 

or equivalent knowledge.

Delivery method: Instructor-led, group-paced, classroom-delivery learning model with structured handson

activities and independent lab activities.

Benefits: Students will learn how to migrate Windows NT networks to Windows 2000 networks and how

to use new tools and services to manages their Windows 2000 networks.

Target student: Students enrolling in this course should be experienced Windows NT network

administrators (or have equivalent knowledge) who can manage Windows NT systems, including servers

services, including DNS, DHCP, WINS, and RAS.

What's next: Windows 2000 for Windows NT Administrators is the first course in this series for

experienced administrators. (Students who are new administrators should start with Windows 2000:

Network and Operating System Basics.) After completing Windows 2000 for Windows NT

Administrators, students who want to learn advanced features can take Windows 2000: Active Directory

Design, Windows 2000: Network Infrastructure Design, or Windows 2000: Network Security Design.

Performance-based objectives

Lesson objectives help students become comfortable with the course, and also provide a means to

evaluate learning. Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

 

Describe the new features and understand the hardware requirements for Windows 2000, and

identify the upgrade paths from previous versions of Windows NT, Windows 3x, and Windows

9x.

 

Describe basic components of the Active Directory, and upgrade a Windows NT network to

Windows 2000.

 

Create and modify Active Directory objects, including organizational units, groups, and

printers, and search for objects in the Active Directory.

 

Control access to and delegate authority over Active Directory objects.

 

Understand Active Directory replication, and implement Active Directory sites.

 

Demote and repromote Active Directory domain controllers, and install and configure DNS.

 

Create and use Group Policies to manage users’ network and desktop settings.

 

Create and use Group Policies to assign and publish applications to users’ desktops and to

manage deployed applications.

 

Install the Active Directory client on Windows 9x network clients, and upgrade Windows 9x

clients to Windows 2000 Professional.

 

Install and configure DHCP and WINS and understand the new features of these services in

Windows 2000.

 

Install and configure Remote Access, and describe new Remote Access authentication and

encryption methods.

 

Manage hard disks by defragmenting, using NTFS permissions, encrypting files, setting disk

quotas, and using the Distributed File System (Dfs).

 

Manage partitions on basic disks, create dynamic volumes on hard disks, and manage RAID-5

volumes on dynamic disks.

 

Use the new Backup utility, perform authoritative and non-authoritative restores of lost Active

Directory data, and use the new Recovery Console.

 

Install and configure Terminal Services on a domain controller, and install and use the

Terminal Services client.
