Note: TestOut’s Server Pro: Manage & Administer objectives are listed in Appendix C: Server Pro: Manage and Administer Objectives

The section introductions in LabSim and the lesson plans list the objectives that are met for each of the exams in that section.


The following icons are placed in front of lesson items in LabSim to help students quickly recognize the items in each section:

= Demonstration

= Exam

= Lab/Simulation

= Text lesson or fact sheet

= Video

The video and demonstration icons are used throughout the lesson plans to help instructors differentiate between the timing for the videos and demonstrations.

In the lesson plans the Total Time for each section is calculated by adding the approximate time for each section which is calculated using the following elements:

Video/demo times Approximate time to read the text lesson (the length of each text lesson is

taken into consideration) Simulations (5 minutes is assigned per simulation. This is the amount of

time it would take for a knowledgeable student to complete the lab activity. Plan that the new students will take much longer than this depending upon their knowledge level and computer experience.)

Which log do you view to troubleshoot errors during a software installation?

What options do you have for a log file that has reached its designated capacity?

What happens to the data in a log that you save that has a filter on it? How does a custom view differ from adding a filter to a log? How can you combine events from multiple logs into a single report? What tasks can you attach to an event or log? What is the purpose of the Event Log Online Help link inside each event? What two services are required to configure event subscriptions? Where do you go to view events collected from remote computers

collected using event subscriptions?
