MOC 20412, Configuring Advanced Windows Server 2012 Services

This 5 day instructor-led training class is presented by Microsoft training partners to their end customers. Channel Partners nationwide hire proven AMS Subject Matter Expert Microsoft Certified Trainers (MCT’s) to teach on-site or on-line classes.

This class is the third class in a series of  three classes, which provide the skills and knowledge necessary to implement a  core Windows Server 2012 Infrastructure in an existing enterprise environment.  The three classes in total will collectively cover implementing, managing,  maintaining and provisioning services and infrastructure in a Windows Server  2012 environment. While there is some cross-over in skillset and tasks across  the three courses this course will primarily cover advanced configuration and  services tasks necessary to deploy, manage and maintain a Windows Server 2012  infrastructure, such as identity management and identity federation, network load  balancing, business continuity and disaster recovery, fault tolerance and  rights management. This course is also preparation material, and maps  directly to, Exam 70-412: Configuring Advanced Windows Server 2012 Services.

This class is intended for IT Professionals who are  experienced implementing, managing and maintaining a Windows Server 2008,  Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows Server 2012 infrastructure in an existing  Enterprise environment, and wish to acquire the skills and knowledge necessary  to carry out advanced management and provisioning of services within that  Windows Server 2012 environment. Students would typically be very experienced  System Administrators and should have hands on experience working in a Windows  Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows Server 2012 environment.  A secondary audience for this class are candidates looking to take Exam 70-412: Configuring Advanced Windows Server  2012 Services, or are aspiring to acquire the Microsoft Certified Solutions  Associate (MCSA) credential, either in its own right, or in order to proceed in  acquiring the Microsoft Certified Solutions Expert (MCSE) credentials, for  which the MCSA credential is a pre-requisite.
