DF9N 34: Network Server Operating System

This Unit is designed to introduce candidates to the issues involved in managing and maintaining a network server operating system. It is intended for candidates undertaking an HNC or HND in Computing, Computer Networking or a related area who require a broad knowledge of network servers, including the main theories, concepts and principles in this area.

On completion of the Unit candidates should be able to:

1. Manage and maintain physical and logical devices.

2. Manage users, computers and groups.

3. Manage and maintain access to resources.

4. Manage and maintain a server environment.

5. Manage and implement disaster recovery.

Credit value: 2 HN credits at SCQF level 7: (16 SCQF credit points at SCQF level 7)

Recommended prior knowledge and skills: Access to this Unit will be at the discretion of the Centre. There are no specific requirements but candidates would benefit from knowledge of computer networks and operating systems. This may be demonstrated by the possession of HN Units such as DF9P 34 Network Concepts and DF9M 34 Client Operating System.
