    Credit towards professional certification exam MCITP: Enterprise Administrator

    Audience: 

    The MCITP: Enterprise Administrator certification can help you develop and validate your skills in your current position, or propel you toward a future role, such as:

  • Windows server administrator
  • Server systems administrator
  • Monitoring operator
  • Network administrator, Enterprise Administrator, Consultant. The enterprise administrator translates business goals into technology decisions and designs mid-range to long-term strategies. Enterprise administrators also make key decisions and recommendations about the following:
  • Network infrastructure
  • Directory services, identity management, and authentication
  • Security policies
  • Business continuity (disaster recovery, personnel/equipment/data)
  • Design of IT administrative structure (delegation models)
  • Best practices, standards, and SLAs.
    • Duration: 
    24 hours
