Description

This course is designed to teach IT administrators everything they need to know in order to keep a Project Server 2010/2013 farm up and running. Because Project Server is a SharePoint application, the course details a lot of the management and configuration of Project Server required via SharePoint Central Admin. We also demonstrate how to document your system, and then apply the latest Service Packs and Cumulative Updates (also known as public updates), both on the server and client. The course is packed full of best practice advice, demonstrations, and URLs providing access to 3rd party tools which should be in the toolkit of every Project Server administrator.
