Trainer: Jeremy Cioara (Trainer Comments)
Running Time: 10 Hours

Exam 70-350 information from Microsoft [microsoft.com]

The Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server is truly a versatile and important component in any network. With the improvements ISA Server 2004 has over previous versions, trainer Jeremy Cioara explains that, among other benefits, "the firewall is light years ahead of any firewall that only handles port forwarding."

The modifications Microsoft has made to ISA Server since the 2000 version have changed almost everything. Some of the biggest improvements include:

deep-packet inspection of application-layer data,
multiple-network support,
unique network policies for each interface of the ISA Server 2004 firewall and
additional VPN security including the VPN Quarantine functionality, which allows you to isolate non-compliant VPN clients.
Plus, there have been huge improvements to the management interface and monitoring functions.

Our ISA Server 2004 videos map to Microsoft Exam 70-350, which gives you elective credit towards both the MCSE and MCSA 2003 certifications, plus the :Security specialization. In addition to covering the exam objectives, this series gives you on-the-job skills for deploying ISA Server 2004 on your network from start-to-finish.

The series also teaches you how to configure the ISA Server firewall to inspect packets down to the application-layer data and filter out hard-to-catch instant messaging and peer-to-peer file sharing applications. It even gives you a side-by-side comparison of ISA Server 2004 to competitors such as Cisco PIX and Checkpoint, so you can determine which firewall will best meet the needs of your network.

Thinking about deploying ISA Server 2004? This training will give you the skills and knowledge you need.

A basic understanding of Windows 2003 networking and e-mail services such as the MCSA 2003 certification and Exchange 2003 Administration training or equivalent knowledge is recommended before viewing these videos.

Exam information from Microsoft [microsoft.com]

"I hated Vista until I went through James' training, now I look at it with a new set of eyes." - CBT Nuggets CEO and Founder Dan Charbonneau

This training allows Vista to become the great OS for you that it can be. Vista has tremendous potential, but unfortunately, the learning curve has been a little too steep for users to pickup on their own. Now you can learn to configure Windows Vista computers for maximum performance -- and at the same time prepare for certification as a Technology Specialist on Microsoft Windows Vista.

Here's what you'll learn in each of the Configuring Windows Vista videos:

Video 1 - "Configuring Windows Vista Series Introduction" - This first nugget introduces you to Exam-Pack 70-620: Microsoft Windows Vista, Configuring. You'll learn about exam requirements, how this series is structured, and what you can hope to get out of the training.

This includes all the features and functionalities in Windows Vista Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium, Business, Enterprise, and Ultimate.

Video 3 - "Windows Vista Installation and Clean Install" - Here's how you install Windows Vista on a new computer that's never had a Windows OS installed on it before. First you'll learn a few key terms to know during the installation process. Then you'll learn the different methods you can use to install Windows Vista. After that you'll learn about Windows Product Activation (WPA) so you can work within your licensing and stay legal. And finally you'll walk through an actual clean install of Windows Vista, which lays the foundation for the other types of installations you'll learn about next.

Video 4 - "Windows Vista Upgrade" - Upgrading to Windows Vista has a few differences from a clean install. When you put the Windows Vista installation DVD into computer running an older version of Windows or another edition of Windows Vista, you'll see the Upgrade Advisor -- this is what you'll use to run through the upgrade. In this video you'll learn how Upgrade Advisor will help you recognize any hurdles to upgrading and then work them out before problems come up. You'll also learn what upgrade paths are available to you. Plus you'll get a first introduction to the Windows Easy Transfer migration tool. Finally, you'll see a simple demonstration of an upgrade to Windows Vista.

Video 5 - "Windows Vista Migration and Windows Easy Transfer" - In this nugget you dive in deeper into Windows Vista migration using Windows Easy Transfer tool plus another tool called the User State Migration Tool 3.0 (USMT). These tools help you migrate user documents and settings into Vista from previous versions of Windows. USMT doesn't really show up on the 70-620 exam, but it will be very helpful as you deploy Windows Vista in a corporate or enterprise environment.

Video 6 - "Anytime Upgrade, Troubleshooting Installation" - This nugget explains in detail how Anytime Upgrade makes it easy to move from one edition of Vista to another, without losing any important settings or information. Plus you'll learn some of the best techniques for troubleshooting Windows Vista installation issues.

This nugget takes you through configurations and system settings you'll want to implement post-installation to get Vista to run well. This includes advanced options and selections in Device Manager. Also, you'll learn how problem reports help you track down and solve problems coming from the processes and applications running on your system. Finally, you'll discover how customizing display properties can drastically effect system performance -- including using, not using, or limiting the front-end Windows Aero interface.

Video 9 - "Configuring Internet Explorer, Configure and Troubleshoot Parental Controls" - This nugget is all about connecting to the Internet with Windows Vista using Microsoft Internet Explorer. This includes configuring and troubleshooting parental controls to control internet access. Also, you'll learn how to use Content Advisor to configure what types of websites users of the computer can access. Plus you'll learn how to use RSS feeds and why they're useful, using search within Windows and within your browser, and finally about the improved Internet printing experience in Windows Vista.

Video 10 - "Security: Configure and Troubleshoot User Account Control" - This first nugget on security in Windows Vista walks you through how to configure and troubleshoot User Account Control.

Video 11 - "Security: Windows Defender" - Windows Defender is a cool tool integrated with Windows Vista to help you control Adware, Spyware, Malware, and Viruses. This second security nugget goes through how these are defined on the Microsoft exam, plus shows you how you can setup Windows Defender to protect your Vista computer automatically.

Video 12 - "Dynamic Security for IE7" - Internet Explorer continues to give you more options for locking down security. This nugget details how to use these features, including Protected Mode, the Phishing Filter, the Pop-up blocker, Security Zones that help you control what can be downloaded and run on your computer, Privacy settings including cookie handling, how to identify Secure Websites in IE7, and finally controlling Add-ons that sometimes improve user experience but also pose a security risk.

Video 13 - "Security: Configure Security Settings in Windows Firewall" - This last security-focused nugget walks you through how Windows Firewall has advanced in Vista. It starts by going through essential terms -- like TCP/IP, Port, Network Interface, Inbound and Outbound Traffic, IPSec, Bidirectional, Stateful, Home, Work, Public, Private, and Domain -- you need to know before you configure the firewall, then dives into the new features, explains Network Location Awareness (NLA) profiles, shows you the different interfaces for configuring Windows Firewall, and concludes by demonstrating a configuration of the firewall.

Video 14 - "Configuring Networking by Using the Network and Sharing Center" - Now that you have security in line it's time to connect to the network. This nugget starts with understanding IP Addressing and Network Services. Then it moves into common network types you'll see and how Vista fits within each. Also, you'll see how easy it has become to connect to networks using the Network and Sharing Center inside Vista, including both wired and wireless networks. Next you'll learn about Internet Connection Sharing (ICS), and finally about various network connection properties. And along the way DNS Name Resolution, Network Address Translation (NAT), and Troubleshooting Connectivity are covered as well.

Video 15 - "Sharing Resources and Securing Wireless Access Points" - This nugget goes deeper into two important networking topics -- resource sharing and wireless security. First you'll learn how using the Network and Sharing Center makes it easy than ever to share files, folders, and printers. And then you'll learn about Wireless Security including changing your SSID and disabling broadcasting, using WEP and WPA wireless security, and filtering by MAC address.

Video 16 - "Remote Access: Remote Assistance and Remote Desktop" - Remote access in Vista is split into two core uses -- remote assistance for supporting others, and remote desktop for using all your computer's files and resources from another location. This nugget covers how to configure remote access in Vista including both remote desktop and remote assistance. This will be a key point of confusion on the 70-620 exam and instructor James Conrad contacted an insider at Microsoft to clarify that the content in this nugget maps exactly to the remote access topics you will see on the exam -- this is not the remote access you're already familiar with!

Video 17 - "Network Troubleshooting" - This is the last nugget that focuses heavily on networking -- in it you'll learn how to troubleshoot network connectivity in Vista. First you'll learn a series of steps you can go through that will identify and allow you to fix most network connectivity issues. Then you'll learn about the tools you'll be using -- IPCONFIG, PING, TRACERT, PATHPING, and Automating Private IP Addressing (APIPA).

Video 18 - "Configure Windows Mail" - Windows Mail replaces Outlook Express as the native Email and Newsgroup client in Windows Vista. In this nugget you'll first review mail protocols including SMTP, POP3, and IMAP4. Then you'll dive in and configure Windows Mail and work with mail messages you send and receive through Windows Mail. Finally, you'll also look at how to configure newsgroups and work with newsgroup messages.

Video 19 - "Configure Windows Calendar, Meeting Space" - This nugget covers another set of applications included with Windows Vista -- Windows Calendar and Meeting Space. The nugget starts with an explanation of how to go in and edit or add more details to the contacts stored on your computer. Then you'll learn how to use Windows Calendar to schedule and share events and appointments, and Windows Meeting Space to share your desktop, applications, and more over the internet or an ad-hoc wireless network.

Video 20 - "Configure Windows Sidebar, Media Applications" - This nugget covers a few more applications you'll see included with Windows Vista -- Windows Media Player, Windows Media Center, Windows Fax and Scan, and the Windows Sidebar. You'll learn how to configure each of these applications, plus you'll get demos of some cool features you'll want to play around with to discover in more depth.
