End Users
UTTC has developed a brief orientation to introduce users of Active Directory to some of the most common functions used on a day to day basis. This includes an introduction as to what Active Directory is, how to sign in to a computer, how to use file shares, and how to recover files that have been accidentally delete or overwritten without the assistance of technical support staff.
Information Technology Professionals
OIT & ADCS have partnered with New Horizons of MN to offer two courses of customized training classes specifically for Information Technology Professionals of groups, departments, and colleges at the University of Minnesota that will be joining the Central Active Directory Forest. The courses are based on two Microsoft courses: 70-290-Managing and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Environment & 70-294-Planning, Implementing, and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Active Directory Infrastructure. Courses are taught by a certified New Horizons instructor and also have a University Active Directory team member available to answer specific deployment questions. Unless noted, these classes are held on the Twin Cities campus in ADCS computer training facilities.
All students will be required to complete the New Horizons Career Booster skills assessment at the time of registration.
OU Administrators
A two-day course is geared towards the future AD Unit administrator and will introduce the concepts needed to administer AD in the Central Active Directory environment. Students should be experienced desktop or server administrators with knowledge of NTFS permissions and local users/groups. Due to the accelerated nature of this training, foundational concepts such as these will not be a focus of this course (see following course). Before attending this course, students must have completed Microsoft Course 2278: Planning and Maintaining a Windows Server 2003 Network Infrastructure, or have the equivalent knowledge and skills. The cost of this customized course is $623 and includes two reference books.
Prep Course- New OU Administrator/IT Decision Makers
The 1-day Windows Server 2003 Active Directory course is designed to prepare students who are not as familiar with Windows Server 2003 or Active Directory. This 1-day course will introduce students to various key areas and topics so that they will have been exposed to the foundational topics prior to the more rigorous two-day course. After completing this 1-day prep course, students should not expect to ‘fully’ understand everything taught in it as it is meant to ‘introduce’ and familiarize them with the topics, the tools and concepts covered in the 2-day course; deeper coverage will be obtained in the 2-day course. Coverage of this course will not be focused on how the U of M AD is configured and setup, but rather from a neutral point-of-view. The cost of this customized course is $311.50.
