MSCA Server 2012 - A good starting point?

[ben22i]

Hi,

 

I graduated from university last year and got a 2:1 in computer networking. I am currently in a role at an academy as an IT Tech and I have been given the opportunity to go on some training. I have learnt CCNA and CCNP but have not taken the final exams.

 

I am looking at doing the "Installing and Configuring Windows Server 2012" training and the 410 exam. I have checked the prerequisites and feel I meet all of them.

After completing this course, students will be able to:

 

 

• Install and configure Windows Server 2012.

  
   
  

• Describe AD DS.

  
   
  

• Manage Active Directory objects.

  
   
  

• Automate Active Directory administration.

  
   
  

• Implement IPv4.

  
   
  

• Implement Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).

  
   
  

• Implement Domain Name System (DNS).

  
   
  

• Implement IPv6.

  
   
  

• Implement local storage.

  
   
  

• Implement file and print services.

  
   
  

• Implement Group Policy.

  
   
  

• Secure Windows servers by using Group Policy Objects (GPOs).

  
   
  

• Implement server virtualization by using Hyper-V.

  
  

 

 

All of the above apart from IPv6 are used in the academy so would greatly benefit me.

 

My question is: Do you think this is the best course for me to start with?
