Overview
This five day course is part two in a series of two courses that provide the skills and knowledge necessary to design and implement a Windows Server 2012 R2 infrastructure in an enterprise environment. This course covers designing, planning, deploying, securing, monitoring, automating and virtualizing an enterprise server infrastructure. The course equips the participants with the essential skills for planning and implementing a highly available, secure infrastructure, while focusing on Active Directory Federation Service (AD FS), Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and Active Directory Rights Management Services (AD RMS). The course also covers planning and deploying virtual machines including self-service and automation of virtual machine deployments, as well as planning and implementing a monitoring strategy that includes Microsoft System Center 2012 R2 Operations Manager.
