Integrating Novell Open Enterprise Server for Linux

The Integrating Novell Open Enterprise for Linux course (3077) helps you leam how to implement infrastructure services (such as DNS and DHCP) and Novell Open Enterprise Server (OES) services (such as iPrint and iFolder) on an OES Linux server by migrating data and services from an existing Novell NetWare 6.5 server, or by installing the services directly on the OES Linux server.Before starting the course, make sure you review the following:■ Student Kit Deliverables■ Course Design■ Course Objectives■ Course Audience■ Prerequisite Knowledge■ Novell Open Enterprise Server Training Path ■ Classroom Agenda■ Course Setup■ Exercise Guidelines■ VMware and the Exercises■ Exercise Conventions■ Self-Study Setup■ Novell Open Enterprise Server Product Documentation ■ Web Browser Tools and Applications”
