Overview/Description
Windows Server 2008 includes several new and improved Active Directory features. The most notable change is the renaming of Active Directory Services to Active Directory Domain Services. Further administration and security enhancements make Windows Server 2008 the most complete out of the box version to date. This course explores new account policy and fine-grain password policy features, along with improvements to common Active Directory administration, such as group membership, delegation, and importing data. Mapping to objectives set forth by Microsoft, this course is one in a series that prepares learners for Microsoft exam 70-640: TS: Windows Server 2008 Active Directory, Configuring. Passing this exam completes the requirements for the MCTS: Windows Server 2008 Active Directory, Configuration certification, and counts as credit towards the following exams: Microsoft Certified IT Professional (MCITP): Enterprise Administrator, and the Microsoft Certified IT Professional (MCITP): Server Administrator certifications, since both MCITPs are certifications that require more than one exam.
