Dear Students,
 
Here are the details of the final examination.
 
I have uploaded all the video lectures for weeks 6, 7, 8 and 9. You may also access the lecture directly stored in SkyDrive at the following address: http://www.tinyurl.com/ganesan. The video modules are stored in the folder named Windows 2008 Server. Please go through them along with the slides. Here are the topics covered.
 
  
Week  Topic  Questions
 6  Internet Information Server  30
 7  FTP Server  15
 7  Remote Desktop Services  8
 8  Media Server  29
 9  DHCP Server  11
 9  DNS Server  20
 
I am attaching an early audio review. I will update the review by this week to reflect the large amount of new topics that we covered with regard to the latest Windows server.
 
A new grade reporting system is being introduced as an experiment. Please access it at http://www.engrade.com/ganesan. Use the following access code to gain access: engrade-ganesan-"last four digits of your CIN number" to create an account. Give me your feedback.
 
Good luck!
 
Ganesan

  • NIC configuration
  • Protocol configuration
  • Testing client connectivity
  • Sharing and accessing folders
  • Sharing and accesssing printers
  • Computer identification
  • Windows server installation
  • Server configuration and management
  • Managing services and applications

Also to help you with preparing for your examination, I am attaching an initial review. Please go through the class slides under the Lecture link to study for the examination. I may also conduct and additional examination review.
 
Incidentally, your examination will be conducted on Wednesday May 19th and not on this coming Wednesday.

Updated Examination Review

posted Jan 30, 2010 1:58 PM by Nanda Ganesan   [ updated Apr 18, 2010 9:37 AM ]

I have attached at the end of this posting an updated audio examination review that applies directly to the forthcoming first midterm examination. This review was given in an earlier class. However, it would help you to study for your midterm examination as well.  
 
Also, watch the selected class lectures posted at the end of this paragraph, once again, that would help you answer quite a few questions. My recommendation is to watch the lectures in a relaxed atmosphere such as on a Saturday or on a Sunday morning, for example. 
 
You will, in my opinion, experience a difference in grasping the material compared to learning the same on an evening after a day at work. I wish you well in your examination.
