Most admins new to SharePoint think it's a big scary server product that requires loads of configuration. Don't worry, it's far from scary. In fact, SharePoint is an easy to use CMS (Content Management System) web site integrated with Microsoft Office.
SharePoint 2007 is a portal-based collaboration and file management server. It is made out of various web parts (such as web sites and blogs) that are hosted on the portal.
It also comes in two flavors: the free Services 3.0 version that is available with Microsoft Server products and the more robust SharePoint Server 2007 edition with all its extra collaboration and search features.
This hands-on course will dive into both versions (MOSS & WSS) and prepare you for both MCTS exams: 70-630 & 70-631!
"Am I Qualified to Take this SharePoint Server 2007 Course?"
YES! If you are a Junior or Senior Level Network Administrator or consultant with the strong desire to build a SharePoint solution using either SharePoint Services (the free download) or SharePoint Server.
YES! If you have a basic knowledge of servers, user accounts, and basic web skills, then you are qualified to take this course.
