Description:
With the release of the Microsoft® Windows Server 2003 family of products, several of the features available with Microsoft® Windows NT® 4.0 have been simplified and enhanced. In addition, several new features have been added to Microsoft Windows Server 2003. In this course, you will learn how to administer Windows Server 2003 servers. This course is designed for students who already administer Microsoft Windows NT® Workstation 4.0 and Windows NT® Server, and those who have already earned the Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer Windows NT 4.0 Certification.
This course contains virtual labs. In a virtual lab, you will access a live hardware and software emulation environment by using your Internet connection. You must meet specific system requirements to utilize the virtual lab system.
A note about virtual lab system requirements:
If you log on to the Internet from behind a proxy server, you may not be able to access a virtual lab. This affects AOL and Gateway.net users who use a modified browser and those who access virtual lab technology from behind a corporate firewall. Modified browser users should use either Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator (both 4.0 or higher). Users who are behind a corporate proxy server should access virtual lab technology through a commercial ISP account. Please note that you connect to the virtual lab hosting platform via the VNS protocol. As a result, you must connect through ports 5800-5821 and 5900-5921. Please contact your system administrator to enable these ports for your workstation if necessary.
