In this course, students learn how to provision and configure advanced services using Windows Server 2012 with this five-day course. This course is part three, in a series of three courses that provides the skills and knowledge necessary to implement a core Windows Server 2012 infrastructure in an existing enterprise environment. The three courses will collectively cover implementing, managing, maintaining and provisioning services and infrastructure in a Windows Server 2012 environment. This course covers advanced configuration of services necessary to deploy, manage and maintain a Windows Server 2012 infrastructure, such as advanced networking services, Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS), identity management, rights management, Federated services, network load balancing, failover clustering, business continuity and disaster recovery.

This course maps directly to and is preparation material for Microsoft Certified Solutions Associate (MCSA): Exam 70-412: Configuring Advanced Windows Server 2012 Services.

Before attending this course, students must have:

• Experience working in a Windows Server 2008, or Windows Server 2012 environment.
• Real-world experience implementing, managing, and configuring AD DS and networking infrastructure in an enterprise environment.
• Knowledge equivalent to courses: MST100: Installing and Configuring Windows Server 2012, and MST200: Administering Windows Server 2012.

This course is intended for IT professionals with hands-on experience implementing, managing, and maintaining a Windows Server 2012 infrastructure in an existing enterprise environment, who wish to acquire the skills and knowledge necessary to perform advanced management and provisioning of services within that Windows Server 2012 environment.
