About This Course xvii
About This Course
This section provides you with a brief description of course 20410D: Installing and Configuring Windows
Server® 2012, including its audience, suggested prerequisites, and course objectives.
Course Description
Note: This release (D) Microsoft® Official Curriculum (MOC) version of course 20410 has been developed
on the final release version of Windows Server® 2012 R2 software.
This course is part one of a three-part series that provides the skills and knowledge necessary to implement a core Windows Server 2012 infrastructure in an existing enterprise environment. The three courses collectively cover implementing, managing, maintaining, and provisioning services and infrastructure in a Windows Server 2012 environment. While there is some cross-over in skills and tasks across the courses, this course focuses on the initial implementation and configuration of core services, including Active Directory® Domain Services (AD DS), networking services, and Microsoft Hyper-V®
Server 2012 R2 configuration.
Audience
This course is intended for information technology (IT) professionals who have some knowledge and experience working with Windows operating systems, and who want to acquire the skills and knowledge necessary to install and perform the initial configuration of a Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server 2012 R2 server in an existing Windows server environment. Candidates typically interested in attending this course are:
• Windows Server administrators who are relatively new to Windows Server administration and related technologies, and who are looking to learn more about Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server 2012 R2.
• IT professionals who are experienced in other non-Microsoft technologies, who meet the prerequisites, and want to cross-train on Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server 2012 R2. • IT professionals who want to take the any of the following exams:
o 70-410: Installing and Configuring Windows Server 2012
o The Microsoft Certified Solutions Expert (MCSE) exams in Datacenter, Desktop Infrastructure, Messaging, Collaboration and Communications
o The Microsoft Certified Solutions Associate (MCSA) exams which are a prerequisite for their individual specialties
Student Prerequisites
This course requires that students meet the following prerequisites, including that they: • Have an understanding of networking fundamentals
• Understand basic Active Directory concepts
• Have an awareness and understanding of security best practices • Have basic knowledge of server hardware
• Have experience working with, and configuring, Windows client-operating systems, such as Windows® 7 or Windows 8.

xviii About This Course
Additionally, students would benefit from having some previous Windows Server operating-system experience.
Course Objectives
After completing this course, students will be able to: • Deploy and manage Windows Server 2012. • Describe AD DS.
• Manage Active Directory objects.
• Automate Active Directory administration. • Implement IPv4.
• Implement Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). • Implement Domain Name System (DNS).
• Implement IPv6. • Implement local storage.
• Implement file and print services. • Implement Group Policy.
• Use Group Policy Objects (GPOs) to secure Windows Servers. • Implement server virtualization by using Hyper-V.
Course Outline
This section provides an outline of the course:
Module 1, Deploying and Managing Windows Server 2012
This module starts the course by discussing installation of Windows Server 2012. This is not the most commonly performed task in the course, but it provides a logical starting point for students to begin working with Windows Server 2012.
Module 2, Introduction to Active Directory Domain Services
AD DS is a core part of network management in an enterprise environment. We introduce it early in the course so that students can use it to perform other tasks, such as creating users and groups, in later modules. In this module, students will install a domain controller.
Module 3, Managing Active Directory Domain Services Objects
This module discusses creating and managing specific Active Directory objects, such as users, groups, and computer accounts. This is a core part of what a beginning server administrator does on a daily basis. Additionally, this module discusses how administrators can delegate some of these tasks to their company’s help-desk staff.
Module 4, Automating Active Directory Domain Services Administration
This module expands on the knowledge that students gain in Module 3, by providing them with methods for automating the creation and management of Active Directory objects. This is a relatively advanced topic, but logically flows after Module 3.

About This Course xix
Module 5, Implementing IPv4
This module begins a new thread of learning in the course. Configuring and understanding IPv4 is fundamental to working as a system administrator.
Module 6, Implementing Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
This module discusses how to use DHCP to distribute IPv4 address information.
Module 7, Implementing Domain Name System
This module describes how DNS converts names to IP addresses and why this is important in an Active Directory environment. This module also describes how to deploy and manage DNS servers and zones.
Module 8, Implementing IPv6
This module introduces IPv6 configuration, which is likely to be new content for the students.
Module 9, Implementing Local Storage
This module includes content on storage configuration for Windows Server 2012. This is prerequisite information for Module 10, which discusses creating and securing file shares.
Module 10, Implementing File and Print Services
This module discusses file shares and printing at the same time because both are commonly used network services. Security for file shares and printing uses the knowledge about user accounts and groups that Modules 2 and 3 cover.
Module 11, Implementing Group Policy
This module builds on the information students have learned about AD DS to introduce the creation and management of GPOs.
Module 12, Securing Windows Servers by Using Group Policy Objects
This module covers specific Group Policy settings that you can use to increase security. The settings include security policies, application-restriction policies, and Windows Firewall rules.
Module 13, Implementing Server Virtualization with Hyper-V
The final module discusses how to configure Hyper-V and how to create virtual machines. This module is last because the lab has the potential to negatively affect the virtual machines that are deployed on the student machines.

Module Overview
Understanding the capabilities of a new Windows Server® 2012 operating system enables you to use that
operating system effectively. If you do not understand the capabilities of your new Windows Server 2012 operating system, you might use it the same way that you used the previous operating system, which would forego the advantages of the new system. By understanding how to utilize your new Windows Server 2012 operating system fully, and by understanding the tools that are available to manage that functionality, you can provide your organization with more value.
This module introduces the new Windows Server 2012 administrative interface. In this module, you will learn about the different roles and features that are available with the Windows Server 2012 operating system. You also will learn about the different installation options that you can use when you install Windows Server 2012.
This module discusses the configuration steps that you can perform both during installation and after deployment to ensure that the server can begin functioning in its assigned role. You will also learn how to use Windows PowerShell® to perform common administrative tasks in Windows Server 2012.
Note: Please note that in this course, references to Windows Server 2012 mean both Windows Server and Windows Server 2012 R2. If Windows Server 2012 R2 is specifically mentioned, the reference is only for Windows Server 2012 R2 (for example, for upgrades).
