Are you an intermediate to advanced IT Professional or a new IT professional with a foundation in Windows Server 2008? Then sharpening your skills by watching this James Conrad video training on Windows Server 2008 technologies is a terrific career move. Knowing how to use Windows Server 2008 technologies (such as IPv6, Network Access Protection, IPSec, and new performance monitoring and event log tools) sets you apart for other IT professionals. By the time you've finished watching this training, you'll understand each of these technologies inside-out.
Windows 2008 Network Infrastructure, Configuring includes such blow-your-mind features as:

* Network Access Protection (NAP). NAP prevents unhealthy computers from connecting to your production network.

Here's an example: a user takes a laptop out of office and misses the latest antivirus updates. When he returns, his laptop is placed on a restricted network that only allows him to download updates.

* Windows Server Backup (WSB). WSB is so powerful that you can potentially recover a failed system -- fully! This is a big paradigm shift compared to previous and third party backup methods.

* Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol (SSTP). This virtual private network technology allows you to connect VPN clients without opening additional firewall exceptions.

James goes into great detail preparing you for Microsoft's 70-642 exam. In no time, you'll be ready to earn MCTS certification and be well on your way to MCITP certification as a Server 2008 Administrator.

But in addition to preparing you for the test, James shows you valuable skills that will make you an on-the-job success:

* IP addressing network design
* Secure network access -- both locally and via remote access
* Secure file server access and encryption
* Monitoring select server performance indicators
