Prepare yourself to design and implement a Windows Server 2012-based server infrastructure!
Covering the major topics and concepts you'll need to succeed, this series with trainer Don Jones addresses all of the major objective points on the Microsoft 70-413 exam. You'll learn the valuable background concepts and decision points that will enable you to make the right design and implementation decisions for any situation. Combined with some hands-on practice and experience, this series will put you on the path to becoming a Server Infrastructure expert!
Introduction
This Nugget covers the outline for this series, explains the computers you'll want to set up to create your own lab environment, and outlines some of the strategies this series will use to guide you through the material and the 70-413 exam objectives.
00:10:06
Preparing Your Lab Environment
In this Nugget, you'll learn how to set up some of the pre-requisite services and functionality that you'll need for effective server management. This includes PowerShell Remoting, the CredSSP protocol, and other key management services. You'll also learn about the security implications of these, and their potential impact on a production environment.
00:21:24
Designing a Server Deployment Infrastructure
Learn how Windows Deployment Services (WDS) can be deployed to create an automated server deployment infrastructure. Learn about WDS options, including mutlicast and unicast deployments, major configuration settings, pre-staged device accounts, and more. You'll see how to load base OS install and boot images into WDS, and learn how to configure supporting services such as DHCP.
00:27:41
Planning and Implementing Server Upgrades and Migrations
Learn about the key steps involved in properly planning server upgrades and migrations, with an emphasis on consolidation. How can you figure out what you've got? What resources are available to walk you through role migrations? How can you estimate how many servers can be migrated to a virtualization host? What tools can help migrate servers across domains or forests? It's all covered in this Nugget.
00:43:51
Planning and Deploying Virtual Machine Manager Services
Learn the basics of System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) 2012, including how it makes it easier to deploy batches of virtual machines that make up a specific application or service stack. You'll learn about service templates, capability profiles, and much more. While this isn't intended as in-depth education for SCVMM, this Nugget will help you start working VMM services into your overall Windows Server 2012 environment.
00:28:48
Planning and Implementing File and Storage Services
You'll learn about the different options for Storage Area Networks, including Fibre Channel and iSCSI, and also about Virtual FC, a technology that lets a Hyper-V VM access an FC SAN with better performance. You'll also learn about Windows Storage Spaces and Storage Pools, data de-duplication in pools, and other storage concepts. Finally, you'll see how to configure Windows NFS file sharing, iSCSI target, and iSNS services.
00:32:45
Designing and Maintaining a DHCP Solution
In this Nugget, you'll learn about advanced design considerations for your network's DHCP infrastructure. There's a key focus on reliability options, including clustered DHCP servers, DHCP failover, and split-scope DHCP setups. You'll learn about stateless DHCP configuration for DHCPv6, as well as security techniques like DHCP filtering. You'll also see how to perform basic DHCP maintenance tasks like backing up and restoring the DHCP database.
00:36:00
Designing a Name Resolution Strategy
Learn about DNS, especially DNS-related security: DNSSEC, DNS socket pooling, cache poisoning attacks, cache locking, and more. You'll also learn about other key DNS planning and design concepts, including disjoint-namespace issues, application partitions, DNSv6, single-label DNS name resolution as a partial replacement for WINS, and zone delegation.
00:29:10
Designing and Maintaining an IP Address Management Solution
Learn about IPAM, the new centralized IP Address Management solution in Windows Server 2012. This Nugget will explain how to configure IPAM, its various provisioning modes, and how to set up manual configuration. You'll also see how to manage and monitor IPAM.
00:36:02
Designing a VPN Solution
Figure out which VPN protocols are right for your specific needs, and learn about design considerations such as certificate deployment, firewall configuration, and bandwidth conservation. You'll also see how the CMAK can help automate and simplify the deployment of VPN configurations - if you're careful.
00:33:58
Designing a DirectAccess Solution
Learn how DirectAccess work, and learn about major changes since Windows Server 2008 R2. You'll also learn the basics in migrating from a Unified Access Gateway (UAG) hosted DirectAccess infrastructure, and learn about the pros and cons of a full deployment vs. the new simplified deployment model. This Nugget focuses mainly on design issues; you'll cover the major implementation steps in the following Nugget.
00:35:29
Implementing a Scalable Remote Access Solution
Learn about the broad steps and design decisions you'll need to make to start implementing a high-end remote access solution. You'll learn about site-to-site connections, the gotchas involved in DirectAccess configuration, and the pre-requisites you'll need to put into place to support incoming VPN connections. You'll also learn about VPN packet filtering and RAS tracing, along with using Network Load Balancing as part of a RAS solution.
00:48:07
Designing and Implementing a Network Protection Solution
NAP is a complex topic with a lot of choices, and this Nugget will help you select the right deployment for your specific needs. You'll learn the basics of how NAP works, see where health policies are defined, and learn about the five main enforcement methods: None, DHCP, 802.1X, and VPN. You'll learn about the purpose of the NPS and HRA roles, and see where NPS is configured in Windows.
00:40:21
Designing and Implementing a Forest and Domain Infrastructure
Learn about the design elements of an AD infrastructure, including the purposes of forests and domains, the various kinds of trusts, and when you'd use each. You'll also learn about domain rename and forest restructuring, including the tools you'll use to perform those tasks. Also covered are functional levels, upgrade and migration concepts, and key design decisions for each.
00:37:42
Designing a Group Policy Strategy
Covers the basics of Group Policy design strategy, diving deep into specific tactical devices: loopback processing, security and WMI filtering, slow link detection, and more. Also provides a feature overview of the Advanced Group Policy Management MDOP feature, which can provide critical capabilities for larger organizations.
00:33:08
Designing an Active Directory Permissions Model
Learn to design the right approach for Active Directory permissions management, including ways to delegate control of different tasks to different users. You'll also learn about the AdminSDHolder functionality, how to configure Kerberos delegation, and how to configure Active Directory quotas.
00:39:27
Designing an Active Directory Sites Topology
Learn the basics of AD site topology design, and dig into the compromises between replication speed and network utilization. You'll learn about site links and site link bridges, how AD deals with replication conflicts, and how to manage replication traffic across wide-area network links.
00:34:18
Designing a Domain Controller Strategy
Learn about the design considerations for domain controller, Global Catalog, and FSMO placement in complex environments. You'll also see how to manage the partial attribute set replication to Global Catalog servers, and discover Windows Server 2012's new support for cloning of virtualized domain controllers.
