Actual Rack Mount Servers for a more realistic experience

Inventive Media is the 1st and only training center to provide actual Rack Mount Physical Servers per student for use in their laboratory exercises. Such setup allows students to experience a real life example or scenario of working with live servers, to make the transition easier once they start working on an actual server environment.

Overview

This hands-on course teaches IT professionals how to deploy and configure Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) in a distributed environment, how to implement Group Policy, how to perform backup and restore, and how to monitor and troubleshoot Active Directory–related issues with Windows Server 2016. Additionally, this course teaches students how to deploy other Active Directory server roles, such as Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) and Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS).
