About This Course

This section provides you with a brief description of the course, audience, suggested prerequisites, and
course objectives.

Course Description

Get hands-on instruction and practice planning, designing and deploying a physical and logical Windows
Server 2012 R2 enterprise infrastructure in this 5-day Microsoft Official course. This course is part one in a
series of two courses that provides the skills and knowledge necessary to design and implement a
Windows Server 2012 R2 infrastructure in an enterprise environment. The two courses collectively cover
designing, planning, deploying, securing, monitoring, automating, and virtualizing an enterprise server
infrastructure. This course covers the knowledge and skills needed to provide an enterprise solution that
supports manual and automated server installations in a physical and virtual environment including the
supporting file and storage services. You will also learn the skills necessary to provide enterprise
networking solutions such as DHCP, IPAM, VPN & DirectAccess. You will also learn the skills necessary to
design and implement a forest and domain infrastructure including multi domains/forest and branch
office scenarios.

Audience

This course is intended for IT professionals who are responsible for planning, designing, and deploying a
physical and a logical Windows Server 2012 enterprise AD DS infrastructure, including the necessary
network services. They have experience of previous Windows Server operating systems and possess
Windows Server 2012 certification Microsoft Certified Solutions Associate (MCSA) or equivalent skills.

The secondary audience for this course includes IT professionals who are looking to take the exam 70-413:
Designing and Implementing a Server Infrastructure, as a stand-alone, or as part of the requirement for the

Microsoft Certified Solutions Expert (MCSE): Server Infrastructure Certification.

Exam/Course Mapping

This course 20413C: Designing and Implementing a Server Infrastructure, maps directly to, and is the
preferred choice for, hands-on preparation for Microsoft Certified Solutions Expert (MCSE): Exam 413:
Designing and Implementing and Server Infrastructure, which is the fourth of five exams required for
MCSE: Server Infrastructure certification.

The table below is provided as a study aid that will assist you in preparation for taking this exam, and
to show you how the exam objectives and the course content fit together. The course is not designed
exclusively to support the exam, but rather provides broader knowledge and skills to allow a real-world
implementation of the particular technology. The course will also contain content that is not directly
covered in the examination, and will use the unique experience and skills of your qualified Microsoft
Certified Trainer (MCT).
