Who should attend: System administrators who are responsible for heterogeneous Windows NT and UNIX based systems. Attendees should have user-level knowledge of both UNIX and Windows NT, and it is recommended they have system administration- level experience in at least one of the operating systems.

Today's organizations choose computing solutions from a variety of vendors. Often, integrating the solutions in a seamless, manageable enterprise is an afterthought, left up to the system administrators. This course identifies the solutions to the problems encountered when administering a mixture of UNIX and Windows NT systems. It covers specific problem areas and discusses practical solutions for them. The focus of this course will be on available solutions to real-world administration problems in heterogeneous UNIX and Windows NT based networks which exist and can be applied today.
