This training guide is designed for information technology (IT) professionals who support or plan to support Windows 8 and are ramping up on the latest technology. It is assumed that before you begin using this guide, you have at least an entry-level understanding of Microsoft Windows and common Internet technologies.
This book covers some of the topics and skills that are the subject of the Microsoft certification 70-687 exam. If you are using this book to complement your study materials, you might find this information useful. This book is designed to help you in the job role; it might not cover all exam topics. If you are preparing for the exam, you should use additional study materials to bolster your real-world experience. For your reference, a mapping of the topics in this book to the exam objectives is included in the back of the book.
By using this training guide, you will learn how to do the following:
Install Windows 8 on a new computer or upgrade to Windows 8 from an earlier version of Windows
Share network resources, including printers and file storage space on a Windows 8 client
Navigate the new Windows 8 user interface and perform common administrative tasks in both the new and the earlier interfaces
Manage the Windows 8 client-side Hyper-V virtualization software
Configure and manage Internet Explorer 10
Manage and troubleshoot hardware device drivers
Secure the Windows 8 operating system environment
The following are the minimum system requirements your computer needs to meet to complete the practice exercises in this book. To minimize the time and expense of configuring physical computers for this training guide, its recommended that you use Hyper-V, which is a feature of Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 8, and Windows Server 2012. You can use other virtualization software instead, such as Windows Virtual PC or VirtualBox. If you do not have a way to create a virtual environment, have two physical PCs capable of running Windows 8 so that you can take full advantage of the training in this guide.
REQUIREMENTS FOR A FULL TEST OF HYPER-V
If you want to test the Hyper-V feature in Windows 8 fully, you must use a physical computer that supports Second Level Address Translation or a visualization platform that allows other virtualization platforms to run inside it. Such platforms include VMware Workstation 8 or higher and VMware Fusion 4 or higher.
This section presents the hardware requirements for Hyper-V, the hardware requirements if you are not using virtualization software, and the software requirements.
If you choose to use virtualization software, you need only one physical computer to perform the exercises in this book. That physical host computer must meet the following minimum hardware requirements:
x64-based processor that includes both hardware-assisted virtualization (AMD-V or Intel VT) and hardware data execution protection. (On AMD systems, the data execution protection feature is called the No Execute or NX bit. On Intel systems, this feature is called the Execute Disable or XD bit.) These features must also be enabled in the BIOS. (You can run Windows Virtual PC without Intel-VT or AMD-V.)
4.0 GB of RAM (more is recommended)
120 GB of available hard disk space
DVD-ROM drive
Internet connectivity
If you choose to use physical computers instead of virtualization software, use the following list to meet the minimum hardware requirements of the practice exercises in this book:
Three personal computers, each with a 1-GHz processor, 512 MB of RAM, network card, video card, and DVD-ROM drive
At least 25 GB of disk space available on each computer
All three computers physically connected to each other and to the Internet
The following software is required to complete the practice exercises:
Windows 8. You can download an evaluation edition of Windows 8 at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-8.aspx.
The Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (Windows ADK) for Windows 8. You can find an overview of Windows ADK at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh824947.aspx, and the download is available at http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30652.
A web browser such as Internet Explorer 8 or later.
Most of the practice exercises in this training guide require only a single computer, but for full testing, a second computer is often useful. For example, after you learn how to create a file share, you can then test your work by browsing to that file share from the other computer.
The authors would like to thank a number of people who helped in the creation of this Training Guide.
As is the case with everything I do, I dedicate this work to my beautiful wife, Amy, and my life-enriching, wonderful children, Ryan and Isabella. Without you, none of this would matter.
I also thank my coauthors, Derek Schauland and Rick Vanover, for their tireless efforts in getting this work to print.
This project has been one of the largest single writing projects that I have taken on, and although it was quite a bit of work to get to this point, we got it done. I have a newfound understanding of the work that goes into the certification process; for me, no longer is it about exams as much as it is about the entire process, from learning content all the way to the test.
I thank my wife Laura for encouraging me to keep going even when activities were popping up all the time. I also thank my friends and other family members for continuing to show interest in how the writing was going. It amazes me how much this helps the focus stick. Last but certainly not least, I thank my fellow authors, Scott Lowe and Rick Vanover. Without the two of you, this project wouldnt have crossed my radar.
Thank you for the amazing opportunity.
Rick dedicates his work in this book to his wife Amie and daughter Rilee.
