CET 1485 is a three-credit course meeting 10 hours a week. Completion of CEN 1320 (Windows 2003 Server) is required. Course requires computer use outside of class time to complete computer assignments.

COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course will show students how to plan their network infrastructure around features supported by Windows 2003. Issues such as network protocols and services are compared based on the requirements of your organization. This includes compatibility with Novell NetWare, UNIX, and Macintosh computers. In addition, the importance of the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) for enterprise networks is emphasized because of the new feature set of Windows 2003. This includes using Domain Name System (DNS), Windows Internet Name Service (WINS), and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) in Active Directory-enabled environments. Students will also learn how to configure, manage, secure, and troubleshoot features and services for Windows 2003 enterprise networks, including Routing and Remote Access.

This course provides information necessary to pass Implementing, Managing, and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows 2003 Network Infrastructure (Exam 70-291).

GRADING CRITERIA: There will be approximately thirteen (10) written tests, covering Chapters 1-10. The course grade will be an average of the written tests. The following grade scale will be used:

90 - 100 = A 70 - 76 = C

87 - 89 = B+ 67 - 69 = D+

80 - 86 = B 60 - 66 = D

77 - 79 = C+ Below 60 = F

Missed tests must be made up the day after returning to class. STUDENTS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR SCHEDULING MAKEUP TESTS.
