Course description

Overview: We designed Windows 2000 Active Directory Design to meet the needs of current Windows

2000 systems administrators who need to learn how to design an Active Directory structure for their

organizations based on business, management, and network factors or who need to prepare for

Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) exam #70-219 Designing a Microsoft Windows 2000

Directory Services Infrastructure.

Prerequisites: To ensure students success with this course, we recommend that they first take the

following Element K courses or have equivalent knowledge:

 

Windows 2000: Network and Operating Systems Basics

 

Windows 2000: Installation and Administration

 

Windows 2000: Network Infrastructure Implementation

 

Windows 2000 Administering the Active Directory

For students who are current Windows NT administrators, we recommend taking the following Element

K course instead of the previously listed courses:

 

Windows 2000 for Windows NT Administrators

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

activities.

Benefits: When students are done working through this course, they'll be able to properly design an

Active Directory domain structure that supports either a centralized (single domain) and decentralized

(multiple domain) administrative model. They will learn how to design domains based on Group Policy,

Schema, and administrative authority strategies. In addition, students will learn how to plan and deploy

multiple sites.

Target student: Students taking this course are current Windows 2000 administrators who are very

familiar with how to install, configure and administer an Active Directory domain, but need to move to

the next level of knowledgeActive Directory strategy and design.

What's next: Students who want to learn more advanced topics on designing Windows 2000 networks or

migrating a Windows NT domain structure to Windows 2000, can take any of the following Element K

courses:

 

Windows 2000: Designing Network Services

 

Windows 2000: Migration Strategy

 

Windows 2000: Designing a Secure Network

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:

 

Identify the factors you should consider when designing the Active Directory.

 

Select appropriate names for your DNS and Active Directory domains.

 

Design and configure a single Active directory domain.

 

Design a Group Policy strategy for your organization.

 

Design a schema strategy for your organization.

 

Configure an Active Directory environment that contains multiple domains.

 

Design and implement the Active Directory for administrative delegation.

 

Plan and deploy a multi-site Active Directory structure.

 

Design an Active Directory infrastructure.
