Course 70100: Planning Network Services

Introduction This course describes how to plan network addressing and name resolution services Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Domain Name System (DNS). An understanding of the role of DHCP and DNS in providing the foundation for additional higher-level services, such as Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS), and for applications, such as messaging and database systems is required when you plan the deployment of these network infrastructure services; deployment planning is necessary for ensuring the smooth running of mission-critical applications. The course introduces Active Directory® Domain Services (AD DS), which is at the core of any Windows-based network environment. An understanding of how to plan efficient AD DS forests, domains, and objects and plan for effective maintenance and recovery helps to ensure that your AD DS infrastructure serves the needs of your organization. Objectives At the end of the course, students will be able to:

• In this course, you will plan network addressing and name resolution services. In addition, you will plan and provision Active Directory Domain Services.
