LearnNow Online

Updated Aug 23, 2018

Course description

In an enterprise it may often necessary to perform a regular OS deployment or OS upgrade according to the organizational requirements. In such scenarios we need to migrate users along with their data configurations and settings to the updated enterprise desktops to ensure that the user data is preserved during the OS deployment or upgrade process. This can be done by implementing the user state migration. Through this course will gain a better understanding about user state migration and how it helps us to minimize productivity loss in the enterprise environment and guarantee user satisfaction. There also may be situations where we want to dynamically increase access to critically enterprise applications on the network. In order to increase the use of such vital applications and resources for users we can use Microsoft’s remote desktop role services, such as remote desktop session host and remote desktop connection broker. Through this course we will also get familiar with managing remote desktop and virtualization concepts which helps us simplify the administration tasks of applications along with remotely managing those applications.

Each LearnNowOnline training course is made up of Modules (typically an hour in length). Within each module there are Topics (typically 15-30 minutes each) and Subtopics (typically 2-5 minutes each). There is a Post Exam for each Module that must be passed with a score of 70% or higher to successfully and fully complete the course.
