As an IT professional deploying and supporting Windows servers and workstations, you need to be able to dig beneath the surface when things go wrong. Having an understanding of the internals of the kernel and knowing how to use advanced troubleshooting tools will help you deal with problems such as malware/spyware identification and removal, performance issues, and blue screens. Understanding the internals can help programmers to better take advantage of the Windows platform, as well as provide advanced debugging techniques.
Gain this valuable knowlege by attending this deep 5 day hands-on technical class by Mark Russinovich and David Solomon, authors of Windows Internals 4th edition (Microsoft Press) and its previous editions Inside Windows 2000 and Inside Windows NT. Developed with full access to the Windows operating system source code and development team, you'll be getting the real "inside story".

Enjoy rolling up your sleeves and getting your hands dirty? This class incorporates hands-on labs which include experiments that allow students to gain practical experience delving into Windows OS internals and troubleshooting system problems. The tools used include the Microsoft Kernel Debugger, tools from Sysinternals.com as well as other Microsoft support tool sets.For public classes, each student must bring their own laptop (see setup instructions).
Unlike most hands-on classes there are no schedule "lab periods". Instead, the labs in this class are "continuous" throughout all 5 days - after the instructor explains a topic, the students will go use the appropriate tool to explore that area.
Acclaimed author and Windows Server expert Mark Minasi said after attending: "Administrators have to constantly answer questions like 'what IS that program in Task Manager, where did it come from and can I get rid of it safely?' or 'why is my computer so slow?' or an old favorite, 'how large should my pagefile be?' I got the answers to those questions and am putting what I've learned to work immediately. In my experience, the best seminars all leave you delighted and wishing for more, and yours did..."
Edwin van Mierlo, Senior Engineer at a Fortune 500 company, said this after the September 2005 seminar in San Francisco: "I must say that from all courses/seminars I have been to in my professional career, this is now the absolute number one, in regards to content, format, pace, and technology depth. I for sure will be applying these techniques to my daily routine and it already changed the way I troubleshoot some of the problems which I am facing daily."
Here's a sampling of other many positive comments provided by students that attended past seminars:
Attendees should be familiar with basic operating system principles, such as virtual memory, multitasking, processes & threads, file systems, etc. and have experience administering or developing on Windows.
