How to Leverage AD GPOs

When:
Wednesday, July 21, 2010

9:00 AM - 12:00 PM PDT

Cost:
$149.00

Where:
Online Training

Register for our Online Training and leverage the power of AD and Group Policy objects (GPO's). Microsofts has many powerful tools for today’s administrator. Much of the tools are not widely used but can save IT staff a huge amount of time when setting up new workstations, users and applications. When setup properly on administrator can change settings and make modifications to 10 or a 1,000 workstations with a click of a mouse.

Not only can you save time but you can also standardize your environment and keep users from making changes that prompt help desk calls. Microsoft continues to add features and controls that provide deep control of your Microsoft network.

Class Cost is $149.00 (Credit Card, Check or Company P.O.)

Below is a short list of the global control that GPO's can bring to your network environment.

• AD design – Proper OU use for controlling users, desktops and applications
• roaming profiles
• loopback merge /replace
• GPO inheritance, and the blocking of that inheritance
• GPO priority in conflicts
• folder redirection – Control how and where users save data
• delegation
• WMI filtering
• hiding client or server drives with custom ADM files
• Using "Resultant Set Of Policy" (RSOP) in the GPMC to troubleshoot

Group Policy

• How to view print and save a report of your GPO settings
• How to backup are recover GPO settings
• locking down/ customizing office 2k3, 2k7, including outlook, and IE 8 with ADM templates
• locking down IE Browsing with GPOs
• & AGPM– from MDOP

Understanding & Implementing Citrix XenDesktop

When: TBD

Cost:
$199.00

Where:
Online Training

CNS XenDesktop webinar is an introduction to the concept, a look at the options that exist today, and an in‑depth look at the technology and architecture of a XenDesktop implementation, all packed in to a 4 hour webinar.

The field of desktop virtualization has been changing fast, and maturing. To save you time and money CNS has removed the hands‑on lab part of the typical technical training program, replacing it with step by step guides and demonstrations, combined with clear and concise training manuals, so that we can offer days worth of technical training in hours. This class is designed for the engineer who already has access to the systems being discussed.

The XenDesktop class covers the Desktop Delivery Controller, the Provisioning Server, User Profile Manager, and the process of setting up vDisks for distribution to the virtualization infrastructure. Our separate VMware class covers the basics of setting up and managing a VMware vSphere implementation, and our Citrix XenServer class covers the powerful and free alternative hypervisor solution from Citrix. Each of these is done with custom courseware with a focus on real world obstacles and strategies, specifically for the small to medium business.

Virtualization Boot Camp ‑ Understanding & Implementing vSphere 4

When: TBD

Where:
Online Training

This class was designed to get professional systems engineers up to speed on what they need to know for installation, configuration and management of a vSphere environment. CNS has years of experience in the virtualization field, and we have redesigned the 5 day class into a 1 day class saving you valuable time and cost.

The typical VMware certification class includes 5 days instruction combined with hands-on labs that can be overwhelming for some, while seeming too rushed for others. CNS has reduced this 5 day class by changing the hands‑on‑labs into modularized recorded how-to videos that can be viewed and reviewed at your leisure. Online courseware and slides will be available for download as reference material. This Virtualization workshop is not a Certified VMware class and will not qualify towards a VMware certification.

Who Should Attend? System architects, system administrators, IT managers, and individuals responsible for implementing and managing VMware Infrastructure architectures.

Course Outline:

• ESX Server Installation and Configuration
• Storage Management
• Virtual Center Installation and Configuration
• Virtual Machine Deployment
• Advanced Resource Management
• Backup Strategies
• Monitoring and Optimization

Citrix XenApp Online Training

When:
Wednesday, June 30th, 2010

9:00am to 12:00pm

Cost:
$199.00

Where:
Online Training

This class will cover the latest advances and best practices for Citrix XenApp (Ver. 5) technology, formerly Presentation Server and/or MetaFrame XP.

Learn how to overcome the traditional Citrix issues of printing, roaming profiles, and load management. See demonstrations of Citrix' new “streaming technology” for deploying applications to isolated server environments dynamically. Learn how to prepare for disasters, by backing up and learning to move the critical farm components ‑ data store, data collector, license server ‑ before the critical moment finds you unprepared.
