Windows System Administration Introduction for IT Support Staff Special
This 3 day course has been developed by the Computing Service Windows Support Group. It is aimed at IT Support staff within the University (i.e. Departmental and College Computer Officers and TechLinks) needing to learn the essentials of Microsoft Windows desktop operating system administration. The course will be run on Windows Vista, however the key concepts apply to Windows XP and Windows 2000.
Attendance of this course will prepare the attendees for the Windows and Active Directory Course. The practicals are based in a workgroup environment, however, all topics are transferable and scaleable to a Domain environment.
If the course becomes oversubscribed precedence will be given to those who haven't previously attended a course and only one booking per institution will be accepted.
The course is designed for those new to Windows System Administration, however experience of general Windows use and support is essential.
