Summary

Today, 60-70% of business-critical enterprise data resides on SNA networks. Microsoft's key product for getting at that enterprise data is SNA Server 4.0. MCSE: Implementing and Supporting Microsoft SNA Server 4.0 is the world's most thorough guide to passing Microsoft's SNA Server Exam (70-085) -- and achieving your goals with SNA Server 4.0. Start by reviewing the fundamentals of SNA and how SNA fits into today's broader enterprise networks. Next, walk through installing SNA Server 4.0; and understand how it can be used to link SNA networks with networks based on other protocols. Configure SNA Server 4.0 for host access; configure link services and connections; configure SNA Server 4.0 in a hierarchical environment; and establish peer-oriented communications. Consider issues associated with providing host access through intermediary devices; setting up SNA Server clients; accessing host-based print services; and integrating host data with client/server applications running on Windows NT Server 4.0. This package brings together all the information you need to succeed with SNA Server 4.0: planning, implementation, management, security, optimization, troubleshooting, application integration, and much more.
