Training Course Summary:

Novell eDirectory Tools and Diagnostics (Course 3007) is a practical skills course. It focuses on preventing, troubleshooting, and solving common problems related to eDirectory communication, synchronization, caching, and replication processes and on such integral tasks as server maintenance, database backup, and disaster prevention and recovery. This course provides opportunities to perform eDirectory installation and upgrade tasks, and tree design and health check procedures. All these are performed in both a NetWare only and a multi-platform environment using the latest web-based eDirectory administration tools: iMonitor and iManager. The hands-on components of this course make up a significant portion of class time, giving the student excellent time and experience with the eDirectory product. The instructor is primarily a facilitator to help students improve on their advanced knowledge and skills. The final day is set aside for a "live fire" experience that is less structured than the first two days. It is entirely hands-on and is designed to give students a chance to reinforce their practical skills, in accordance with the objectives of the course.
