Training

Following is a list of the Microsoft Official Curriculum Courses I am certified to teach. As I expand my certifications, this list will expand. There are of course a number of auxiliary courses (one day classes, accelerated version of classes, etc.) that I am certified to teach but I believe this list shows actual content preparation.

The majority of the courses focus on the core classes of the MCSE certification. However, as I expand my certification, the classes are becoming more and more development related. My experience is a rich mixture of Network administration and development and I enjoy injecting that experience into the classes I teach.

803 & 922 - Admin And Core Course Links & Resources

Beverly Hills Software Beverly Hills Software (BHS) is a great resource for NT related items. They have a very cool 32-bit download section. I find that bhs.com is more focused on NT that other download sites like tucows, etc.
Microsoft's TechNet Microsoft loves to move their knowledge base around. Currently it is under the umbrella of the TechNet site. TechNet is a great resource for NT implementers.


 

688 - TCP/IP Course Links & Resources

NeoWorx NeoWorx makes a cool graphical traceroute utility called NeoTrace. You may want to go download the latest version to play with.
Net3 Group Net3 has a ton of networking related resources on their site. Protocol maps, OUI listings for MAC addresses, Subnet Calculators, etc. Poke around their site and see if you find anything that interests you.

Multiple User Creation Batch File This is a great batch file to use in the 689 Course. It can create hundreds, or even thousands of users. Using this batch file, you can fill your sam database with 40,000 and see the resulting sam file size.

Application Role Example VB Source Code
This is a Visual Basic 6 application that demonstrates how application roles can be used to give users access to data via a specific application, but not if they attempt to access the data directly. If you wish to try the application download it. You may need to download the VB 6 runtime files from Microsoft as well. Run the application, and follow the instructions on the "Database Setup Tab"
TerraServer TerraServer is a pretty well publicized site, so you may have bumped into this one already. The reason I link to it from here is that TerraServer is based on Microsoft NT and SQL Server 7.0. There are some papers outlining the technology and methods used to implement terraserver available on the site.
