Experience the Premiere Conference for Windows IT Professionals
TechMentor Orlando, Hilton in the Walt Disney World Resort
TechMentor provides focused training – by expert instructors – on integrating, managing, securing and troubleshooting your Microsoft Windows server systems.
I will be speaking every day on a number or topics:
MCSE – Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer Track
M15 Monday, March 20, 2006 Instructor: Richard Taylor
4:00 – 5:30pm Physical and Logical Devices
The most important aspects of the physical and logical devices on a Windows computer are the hard drives. With basic disks, dynamic disks, volumes, partitions and troubleshooting of disks, there’s a lot of information to know. Don’t forget about handling drivers, driver signing, and driver rollback. Finally, we will cover disk quotas and disk defragmentation, which can help control how the disks are being utilized.
T9 Tuesday, March 21, 2006 Instructor: Richard Taylor
10:15 – 11:45am RAS and Remote Administration
This session digs deep into remote access services, covering protocols, security, RAS clients, and permissions. The heart of RAS security is the RAS policy, which will be demystified so you fully understand how to create and manage them. Other remote access topics include remote administration features such as Remote Desktop and Remote Assistance. Then there’s Terminal Services for administration, which has new names and interfaces for Windows Server 2003. Finally, you’ll delve into tools such as the MMC and adminpak.
MCSE – Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer Track
W3 Wednesday, March 22, 2006 Instructor: Richard Taylor
8:30 – 10:00am Network Security
When it comes to network security, there are plenty of options within Windows Server 2003. You’ll start off discussing old friends such as SMB signing and port filtering, which are still around. Learn how to secure authentication, as well as how to use certificates to increase network communication security. The lesson then moves onto IPSec, an abyss of settings and options you’ll learn decrypt. The new and improved Windows Firewall is also on the menu.
MCSE – Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer Track
Th3 Thursday, March 23, 2006 Instructor: Richard Taylor
8:30 – 10:00am Managing and Monitoring Performance
Although Task Manager has been around a long time, there are new features to learn. There is also the System Monitor (a.k.a. Performance Monitor), ideal for baselining and troubleshooting network, application or system problems. You’ll also learn the ins and outs of software update services (SUS), and how it should work with GPOs. Event Viewer is still essential for monitoring, but the audit policy needs to be set up to fill the security logs. Finally, you’ll be exposed to the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA), which is constantly being upgraded and changed to add new features.
MCSE – Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer Track
F3 Friday, March 24, 2006 Instructor: Richard Taylor
8:30 – 10:00am PKI and Certificates
Windows Server 2003 PKI can deploy an enterprise public key infrastructure fairly simply, but understanding the correct hierarchy for your Certificate Authorities (CAs) is essential. Learn the correct design of PKI and your CAs, as well as how to issue and manage the certificates required for the multitude of certificate-using applications. There are plenty of new enhancements with Windows Server 2003 PKI as well, including certificate enrollment, qualified subordination, custom certificate templates and more.

10:15 – 11:45am IIS and IIS Security
Windows Server 2003 now has a distinct product for running a Web server. This session will cover the new features of IIS including overlapping recycling, real-time editing of the XML metabase, Application Pools, and Web Service Extensions. Also reviewed will be the key architectural changes that improve stability, security and performance for your Web servers.
