Overview: 

This course provides students with the knowledge and skills to implement network infrastructure services, security and access in Windows Server 2008. You secure network access by using the Network Policy Server. In addition, you remotely install Windows Server 2008 by using Windows Deployment Services. You will also implement Network Access Protection (NAP) in Windows Server 2008. You implement NAP by using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) enforcement and Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) enforcement. The services covered are DNS, DHCP, File & Print, Monitoring & Managing Network Infrastructure.
