Microsoft Windows 2003/2008: Terminal Services

Course Overview

THIS COURSE COVERS WINDOWS 2003 AND WINDOWS 2008 TERMINAL SERVICES.

The course is intended to provide an introduction to and skill to maintain Windows-based Terminal Servers in the workplace. It covers what Terminal Services is, how it benefits business, as well as how to install it, modes of operation and day-to-day administration. In addition, it also covers how to install applications onto a Windows Terminal server and how to licence a Terminal Server environment to avoid licensing-related problems. This course, or equivalent knowledge is a PRE-REQUISITE for attendance on any Citrix MetaFrame-based course, as these courses assume reasonable knowledge of Terminal Server administration.

We're constantly adding new Microsoft training courses, if you don't see one that suits at present, contact us and we'll source or create one that does.
