Overview/Description
When planning the enterprise infrastructure, it is important to consider the needs of external users and clients to access the corporate domain, resources, and services. This course outlines the key technologies to consider when designing the external network access strategy. Included is a look at the remote access abilities provided by Windows Server 2008's Network Policy and Access Services role, which consist of the Routing and Remote Access, Network Policy Server, and Network Access Protection role services. The course discusses recommendations for Virtual Private Network (VPN) connections, such as authentication protocols, tunnel types, and authorization mechanisms. The course also outlines considerations for server or domain isolation and the design of a perimeter network, including the role of the ISA Server in providing secure access to Web server resources and internal network services, such as e-mail and domain name resolution. This course covers the objectives for Microsoft exam 70-647 PRO: Windows Server 2008, Enterprise Administrator. Passing the prerequisite MCTS exams and this Professional Series exam completes the requirements for the MCITP: Enterprise Administrator certification.
