- TUITION: $ 1,415
- AVAILABILITY: October 1989
Abstract
The labs and lectures of this course provide the knowledge and tools for implementing IBM LAN Server Program under the OS/2 (R) Extended Edition Communications Manager. This course includes information on developing a plan to migrate from the DOS-based PC Local Area Network (LAN) program; installing and specifying LAN Server domains; defining users, applications and security; and administering the functions of requesters and servers. Students will learn techniques for optimizing network server performance and investigating error conditions. In hands-on lab exercises, students will perform tasks which reinforce the lecture material using workstations configured as requesters, servers, and domain controllers.
Objectives
After completing this course, a student should be able to:
- Plan for use of the IBM LAN Server Program in local area networks with mixed operating systems
- Specify the requirements for migration to and installation of the LAN Server Program
- Plan and implement the domain definitions including users, applications and security
- Diagnose error conditions
- Optimize the availability and performance of network servers
- Administer operations of server and requester functions.
Duration
- 4.5 days
Audience
This class is intended for local area network technical support personnel responsible for implementing a LAN and providing file, print and program sharing for workstation users.
Prerequisites
- DOS LAN Software Implementation and Tuning (G4007) or DOS LAN Software Implementation and Performance Workshop (G3714)
