CIS 2155 – Designing a Windows Directory Services and
Networking Infrastructure
Provides Microsoft senior support professionals and network architects with the knowledge and skills necessary to design a Microsoft Windows directory services infrastructure. Strategies are presented to assist the student in identifying the information technology needs of the organization, and then designing the Active Directory structure that meets those needs. In addition, this course provides senior support professionals with the information and skills needed to create a networking services infrastructure design that supports the required network applications. Each module provides a solution based on the needs of the organization. Some Microsoft Windows network solutions require a single technology, such as DHCP, to provide Internet Protocol (IP) address configuration support. In other situations, several technology options exist, such as Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), Routing Information Protocol (RIP) and Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP), to design an IP routing scheme.
