Introduction

Learn how to provision and configure advanced services using Windows Server 2012 with this five-day course. This course is part
three, in a series of three courses that provides the skills and knowledge necessary to implement a core Windows Server 2012
infrastructure in an existing enterprise environment. The three courses will collectively cover implementing, managing,
maintaining and provisioning services and infrastructure in a Windows Server 2012 environment. Although there is some crossover of skills and tasks across these three courses, this course primarily covers advanced configuration of services necessary to
deploy, manage and maintain a Windows Server 2012 infrastructure, such as advanced networking services, Active Directory
Domain Services (AD DS), identity management, rights management, Federated services, network load balancing, failover
clustering, business continuity and disaster recovery.

Prerequisites

Before attending this course, students must have working knowledge of:

Good hands-on experience working in a Windows Server 2008, Windows server 2008 R2 or Windows Server 2012
enterprise environment.
Real-world experience implementing, managing, and configuring AD DS and networking infrastructure in an
enterprise environment.
Knowledge equivalent to courses: 20410B: Installing and Configuring Windows Server 2012, and 20411B:
Administering Windows Server 2012.
