Introduction

How to Teach This Module

This section contains information that will help you to teach this module. Introduction Introduce yourself to your students, and provide a brief overview of your background to establish credibility as a Microsoft training expert. Ask the students to introduce themselves to the class. Describe the contents of the student workbook and the Student Materials compact disc. Ask the students to write their names on both sides of their name cards. Tell them that they must complete a course evaluation near the end of the course, and advise them where they can send comments. Refer students to books about Microsoft Windows Server 2003 from Microsoft Press. Emphasize that these books can help students on the job, whether students are planning, evaluating, deploying, or supporting a Windows Server 2003 implementation. These books offer technical information to help students get the most out of the Windows Server 2003 key features and enhancements. Familiarize yourself with the course prerequisites so that you can answer any questions that are asked. This course includes two case studies. The first case study provides information about a fictitious company named Northwind Traders, and is the basis for practices throughout the course. In the course labs, the second case study provides information about a fictitious company named Tailspin Toys. Briefly describe each module. Explain the classroom configuration to the students. Ensure that the students record all the configuration elements and that they realize they will use the information they record throughout the labs. Make sure that the students understand the logon procedure. Describe the Microsoft Official Curriculum (MOC) program and answer any questions that are asked. Describe the Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) program and discuss each certification. This course helps students prepare for Exam 70-297: Designing a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Active Directory and Network Infrastructure, which is an elective for the Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) on Windows Server 2003 track. Ask the students whether they have seen this media presentation, and then decide whether to present it to the class. Let the students know that even though these job roles may not correspond exactly to job roles within their organizations, it is useful to see how Microsoft defines these roles. Give the students the information about the class hours, extended building hours for labs, parking, restroom locations, meals, telephones, message posting, and where smoking is and is not allowed. Also, ensure that the students are aware of the recycling program, if one is available.

Certification requirements

The certification requirements differ for each certification category and are specific to the products and job functions addressed by the certification. To become a Microsoft Certified Professional, you must pass rigorous certification exams that provide a valid and reliable measure of technical proficiency and expertise. For more information See the Microsoft Training and Certification Web site at http://www.microsoft.com/traincert/. You can also send e-mail to mcphelp@microsoft.com if you have specific certification questions.

Acquiring the skills tested by an MCP exam

MOC and MSDN Training can help you develop the skills that you need to do your job. They also complement the experience that you gain while working with Microsoft products and technologies. However, no one-to-one correlation exists between MOC and MSDN Training courses and MCP exams. Microsoft does not expect or intend for the courses to be the sole preparation method for passing MCP exams. Practical product knowledge and experience is also necessary to pass the MCP exams. To help prepare for the MCP exams, use the preparation guides that are available for each exam. Each Exam Preparation Guide contains exam-specific information, such as a list of the topics on which you will be tested. These guides are available on the Microsoft Training and Certification Web site at http://www.microsoft.com/traincert/.
