Course Introduction for Instructors
This course provides students with the knowledge to become industry certified as
a Windows professional. This course actually meets the specifications for two
different industry certification programs. It prepares the student for the following:
 TestOut's Server Pro: Install and Configure certification

 Microsoft’s 70-410: Windows Server, Installing and Configuring Server
2012
TestOut’s Server Pro: Install and Configure certification is a new certification

which measures not just what you know, but what you can do. The TestOut
Server Pro Certification measures your ability to design, implement, configure
and manage a Windows network that incorporates Windows Server 2012. The
following knowledge domains are addressed:
 Configure Windows Servers

 Hyper-V
 Active Directory
 DNS
 File and Print Services
 Group Policy
 Networking and DHCP
Note: Server Pro: Install and Configure objectives are listed in

Appendix B: Server Pro: Install and Configure Objectives.
Microsoft’s 70-410: Installing and Configuring Server 2012 certification measures

the students’ ability to install, configure, and manage Windows Server 2012
operating system. The following knowledge domains are addressed:
 Install and configure servers

 Configure server roles and features
 Configure Hyper-V
 Deploy and configure core network services
 Install and administer Active Directory
 Create and manage Group Policy
Note: MS 70-410 objectives are listed in Appendix C: 70-410: Installing and

Configure Server 2012.
The section introductions in LabSim and the lesson plans list the objectives that
are met for each of the exams in that section.
The following icons are placed in front of lesson items in LabSim to help students
quickly recognize the items in each section:
= Demonstration
= Exam
= Lab/Simulation
= Text lesson or fact sheet
= Video
The video and demonstration icons are used throughout the lesson plans to help
instructors differentiate between the timing for the videos and demonstrations.
In the lesson plans the Total Time for each section is calculated by adding the
approximate time for each section which is calculated using the following
elements:
 Video/demo times
 Approximate time to read the text lesson (the length of each text lesson is
taken into consideration)
 Simulations (5 minutes is assigned per simulation. This is the amount of
time it would take for a knowledgeable student to complete the lab activity.
Plan that the new students will take much longer than this depending upon
their knowledge level and computer experience.)
 Questions (1 minute per question)
Note: Appendix A: Approximate Time for the Course contains the

approximate time for each section which are totaled for the entire course.
