Computer Networking Operating Systems, Advanced Certificate

Power the networks of tomorrow by mastering the operating systems that keep them running.

This program lays a foundation in preparation for a profession as a Microsoft Certified IT Professional. Students will install, configure, and troubleshoot Microsoft Client Server Networks. The program is designed to deploy and manage both Windows Server and Client Workstations in simulated real-life situations. Administering, managing, monitoring, and troubleshooting of Server Active Directory, Network Services, and other Server functions are all emphasized. All Server configured activities are tested out using Client Workstations to ensure they work, just as in a real business environment. The program is structured for those who are working towards Microsoft Server certifications. Also those already having certification who want to enhance their knowledge with the newer operating systems, as well as those who may just want to learn how to effectively implement these technologies are welcome.
