Windows NT Server 4.0: Optimizing System Performance
Course length: 2 day(s)
Course
description:
Students will learn how to identify the server analysis and optimization
process; implement a measurement baseline; forecast future resource needs;
optimize file and print servers; optimize application servers; and optimize
domain servers.
Prerequisites: To ensure your continued success, students must first complete the 
Software Training courses,
Windows NT 4.0:
System Architecture and Network Support, or have
extensive equivalent knowledge, and have a basic understanding
of the Internet. For example, you should know how to launch an application,
create and save files, and copy files from CDs and other media. The Software Training classes, Internet
Explorer 5.x is designed to teach these skills, though it is not required.
Delivery
method:
Instructor-led, group-paced, classroom-delivery learning model with structured
hands-on activities.
Benefits: This course will assist
students in preparing for the Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer exam 70-68,
Implementing and Supporting Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 in the Enterprise.
Target
student:
Students enrolling in this course should be Windows NT System Administrators
who have experience supporting, setting up, and troubleshooting Windows NT
Server 4.0, including the use of all administration tools.
Performance-based
objectives
Lesson objectives help students become comfortable
with the course, and also provide a means to evaluate learning. Upon successful
completion of this course, students will be able to:
- Identify the principles for optimizing performance on a Windows NT
Server by using Performance Monitor.
- Develop a strategy for optimizing performance.
- Analyze and optimize file and print servers.
- Analyze and optimize domain controllers.
- Analyze and optimize client-server application servers.
