70-646 Exam Prep
Who should attend this course?
A server administrator is responsible for the operations and day-to-day management of an infrastructure of servers for an enterprise organisation. Windows server administrators manage the infrastructure, Web, and IT application servers. The Windows server administrators use scripts and batch files written by others or those that they occasionally write themselves to accomplish tasks on a regular basis. They conduct most server management tasks remotely by using Terminal Server or administration tools installed on their local workstation. A server administrator’s primary tasks include:
- Managing the server operating system, file, and directory services
- Software distribution and updates
- Profiling and monitoring assigned servers
- Troubleshooting
Server administrators also support engineering projects. Server administrators are responsible for server builds and configuration.
