BlackBelt - Troubleshooting the Windows OS

Suurimad vead, mida inimesed tõrkeotsingul teevad, on see, et nad usuvad, et tõrkeotsinguks tuleks kasutada administraatori kontot või et Windowsi protsessid võivad koodi käivitada - mõlemad on valed. Kui arvate, et teate Windows OS-ist kõike, siis uskuge, Sami suudab Teid üllatada. Tema koolitused on "sügavad sukeldumiskursused" Windowsi sügavikku, mis sobivad nii väiksemate kogemustega kui ka juba kogenud administraatoritele. 

Koolitus toimub inglise keeles!

The best way to become a great troubleshooter is to learn from the ground up. This course teaches you how the OS really works and how to troubleshoot it effectively.

This four-day course trains you how to become a better troubleshooter of any environment that runs on Windows. It is applicable to every OS from NT 4 to Windows 10 – both servers and clients. Let an excellent presenter and troubleshooter teach you the tricks that he has up his sleeves.

Sami’s BlackBelt Troubleshooting session has been selected as the Best Session in TechEd North America 2014, TechEd Europe 2014 and TechEd Australia 2013 so you can be sure to learn a lot in the most entertaining and effective way!
