Description
Installing and maintaining a network of computers requires tools and techniques beyond what is necessary
for running even a powerful personal computer. In this lab-based course, we'll survey and sample some of
the most important practices for the administration of a heterogenous network of servers and desktops.
This will be a hands-on laboratory, and we will be building our own small network to use as a testbed.
Some of the topics will be determined by the interests and previous experience of the students enrolled in
the course.
