Welcome to Upgrading to Microsoft Windows 2000 Training Kit. This kit introduces you to the Windows 2000 family of products, prepares you to install the Windows 2000 software, and prepares you to upgrade your Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 network to a Windows 2000 network.
This kit concentrates on Windows 2000 Server and on Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), the network protocol of choice for Windows 2000. It also emphasizes the Domain Name System (DNS), which is an Internet and TCP/IP standard name service and required for Windows 2000 domains and directory services based on Active Directory technology. Active Directory directory services integrate the Internet concept of a namespace with Windows 2000 directory services. Active Directory directory services use DNS as the domain naming and location service, so Windows 2000 domain names are also DNS names. In fact, the core unit of logical structure in Active Directory directory services is the domain. In this kit, you will learn how to install, navigate, and administer the Windows 2000 Active Directory directory services.
This course also supports the Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer program.
This official Microsoft training kit teaches IT professionals how to set up and support Windows 2000 Professional and Windows 2000 Server. The curriculum focuses on understanding the changes from the Windows NT(r) 4.0 operating system and working effectively with new system architecture, user interface, user profiles, and built-in networking capabilities. It also provides comprehensive preparation for the pending MCP exam. Students learn through skills-based tutorials and hands-on lab exercises. An economical alternative to classroom training, this kit enables students to set their own pace and learn by doing.
