Inhoud:
With the release of Support pack 2 for Open Enterprise Server, Domain Services for Windows has reached a state where it is actually usable and offers a good solution to integrate eDirectory with Active Directory. In this new two day course, you'll learn how to implement it in your environment. The following topics are covered:

1. Understanding Domain Services for Windows

In this topic you'll learn to understand what the possibilities and impossibilities of the product are. You'll learn that DSfW is not a replacement for Identity Manager, but offers an excellent solution to integrate Windows and eDirectory environments.

2. Installing Domain Services for Windows in a new tree

If you want to explore the possibilities that DSfW has to offer, it's not a bad idea to install a new server in a new tree and make that a DSfW tree. This tree will appear as a Windows domain on the network, which might be useful to establish trust relations with other servers in the network. In this topic you'll learn how to install DSfW in a new tree, which allows you to understand how the product is used.

3. (Re)designing an existing tree for DSfW

The most useful implementation of DSfW, is in an existing tree. However, there are some design guidelines that you have to follow to make sure that DSfW installs smoothly. In this topic you'll learn what to do in preparation, to make sure that DSfW will install smoothly in your existing tree.

4. Installing DSfW in an existing tree

In this topic you'll learn how to integrate DSfW in your existing eDirectory tree. We'll start by adding a single domain to an existing eDirectory tree, but you'll also learn how to set up name-mapped child domains and non-name-mapped child domains.

5. File Services in a DSfW environment.

In your DSfW environment, you can offer Windows access to native Microsoft Windows clients, combined with file sharing which is based on the Novell NSS file system. This means that you can finally offer decent file system security for Windows environments! In this topic, you'll learn how to set up file sharing in a DSfW environment.

6. Modifying the client environment for DSfW

Using DSfW means that you no longer need the Novell client on end-user workstations. In this course topic, you'll learn how to set up a user workstation to interact smoothly with a DSfW environment. You'll learn how to join a domain and how to set up an environment where the Novell client is no longer required.

7. Integrating DSfW with Active Directory

If the networks of two different companies have to join together, using DSfW might be a good solution. By establishing a two-way trust between your AD environment and DSfW, you'll learn how to set up such an integrated environment, where AD users can access eDirectory resources, and eDirectory users can access AD resources. No worries if you've never worked with Active Directory before, we'll also teach you all you need
to know about Active Directory basics.

8. Connecting applications to DSfW

Amongst the most important reasons why companies are interested in DSfW, is the integration possibilities that are offered for different applications. In this course topic, you'll learn how to integrate your companies applications with a DSfW environment, but also what you can do if the integration of your application doesn't work out well.

9. Troubelshooting DSfW

Even if it's ready for use now, DSfW still has some rough edges. In this topic you learn what you can do if it doesn't work out the way you want it to.
