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

The primary goal of this course is to help you identify solutions to the problems encountered when administering a mixture of UNIX and Windows NT systems. We will identify specific problem areas, and discuss practical solutions for them. If there are no known solutions we'll tell you that too. We will not be covering future-ware, and thus all solutions discussed will be able to be applied today. The course will focus on practical solutions to real-world administration problems in heterogeneous UNIX and Windows NT based networks.

Topics covered:

	Overview of NT and UNIX  Basic homogeneous setups  Services offered and how  Similarities and differences  Potential sticking points
	Areas of Interest  Electronic mail  Web servers  User authentication  File serving  Printing  Faxes and modems  Host-to-host connectivity  Remote administration  Backup & restore
	For each of the areas of interest we will cover:  Current uses in homogeneous environments  Available answers - where heterogeneous integration can happen  Integration selection and why (tools that provide the answers will be discussed in this area)  Security considerations
