This course teaches students through lectures, discussions, demonstrations, textbook exercises, and lab projects the skills and abilities necessary to design directory service and network infrastructure that meet the technical and business requirements of an organization. It provides in-depth knowledge and hands-on experience of design of directory service and its installation, configuration and administration in a multiple-server, multiple-domain, multiple operating system, enterprise LANs and WAN environments. Understanding the design process, the required components, and the integration of technologies are key elements in this course. This course covers networking directory services terminology, national and international standards relating to networks, the fundamentals of network transmission methods, network topologies, network protocols, and network architecture. The completion of laboratory projects will develop the student's professional skills in network directory service design and implementation. This will lead to further study of networking or employment. Each lab is structured as a team project which will enhance the student's ability to function in a design team.
