Overview/Description
Exchange Server 2013 offers some new enhancements when it comes to high availability, storage, and site resiliency. This course describes these enhancements. You will also learn how to plan, configure, and manage site-resilient database availability groups and networks including planning a cross-site DAG configuration, recommending quorum options given customer requirements, and implementing Datacenter Activation Coordination (DAC). This course is one of a series in the SkillSoft learning path that covers the objectives for the Advanced Solutions of Microsoft Exchange Server (70-342) 2013 exam.

Target Audience
This learning path is targeted at senior Microsoft Exchange administrators who plan and manage multi-site enterprise class deployments of Exchange servers. It is also designed for individuals who seek professional distinction through the Exchange 2013 MSCE. This is done by completing the Microsoft Certified Solutions Associate (MCSA) - Office 365 certification and then taking the 70-341 - Core Solutions of Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 exam and the 70-342 - Advanced Solutions of Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 exam. |
