Course Outline
Module 1: Windows 8.1 in an Enterprise Environment 
Windows client operating systems are essential to the functionality of almost every enterprise environment. Most users perform the bulk of their computing tasks in the Windows client interface, including editing documents, sending email, interacting with applications, and numerous other tasks. Managing these clients, then, is an important task for enterprise information technology (IT) administrators. You must manage Windows clients to ensure that operating systems and any applications are operating properly. Providing adequate security measures, deploying new clients when required, maintaining an inventory, and monitoring Windows clients in your environment are all essential tasks for IT administrators. This module introduces you to Windows 8.1 and provides an overview of how you can manage Windows 8.1 computers in your environment to meet common enterprise IT challenges.

Module 4: Managing Profiles and User State in Windows 8.1
User profiles store user settings and data. For users working on a single computer, profiles can be stored locally. However, for users who roam between multiple computers, the user profile, or at least some parts of it, should be available on the network. This module describes the different user profile types. It also describes Microsoft User Experience Virtualization (UE-V), which you can use to synchronize settings between computers without using roaming user profiles. The operating system itself provides user profiles, whereas UE-V is a separate product that is part of the Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack. In this module, you will learn about UE-V features and how to deploy and configure it on your network. You also will learn how to migrate user state and settings to computers that run Windows 8.1 operating systems.

Module 5: Managing Disks and Device Drivers
Although most computers that run Windows 8.1 have a single physical disk that is configured as a single volume, this is not always the case. For example, there might be times when you want to have multiple operating systems on a single computer, or you might want to have virtual memory on a different volume. Therefore, it is important that you understand how to create and manage simple, spanned, and striped volumes. You also might be interested in implementing the Storage Spaces feature. In addition to traditional storage, you can use Windows 8.1 to create and access virtual hard disks from within the operating system installed on a physical computer. To help maintain and optimize file system performance, you must be familiar with file system fragmentation and the tools that you can use to defragment a volume. Additionally, a good understanding of disk quotas is helpful if you are managing available disk space on installed volumes.

These users might be part of a business network infrastructure, a home office, or they might need to share files and access the Internet. The Windows 8.1 operating system provides enhanced networking functionality compared with earlier Windows client operating systems, and it provides support for newer technologies. By default, Windows 8.1 implements both TCP/Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) and TCP/Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6).

Module 9: Configuring Resource Access for Domain-Joined Devices and Devices That Are Not Domain Members
Before you can start working on a computer that is running the Windows 8.1 operating system, you must sign in. Signing in to a computer is a mandatory step, and based on your computer membership, you can sign in with a local account, a domain account, or a Microsoft account. In an Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) environment, you typically would use a domain account exclusively because it has many benefits. However, in today’s world, users are not restricted to using company-owned computers only. They commonly use their own devices for accessing company data. Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2 have several new features such as Workplace Join, Work Folders, and Remote Business Data Removal that are useful in such Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) scenarios. In this module, you will learn about the benefits of domain accounts and Windows 8.1 features that are useful when administrators need to control resource access for devices that are not domain members. You also will learn how to configure and use Workplace Join and Work Folders.
