SCOM Architect certified!
If you are working with SCOM as a Designer or Architect to create plans to implement or adjust a Microsoft SCOM (System Center Operations Manager) environment, our SCOM Architect Training teaches what needs to go into the design and what the possibilities are. In this training we cover basic scenarios and more advanced scenarios. More information about the contents of this training can be found below.
There are two methods to gain our TopQore SCOM Architect certification:
- Follow this SCOM Architect training and pass the exam
- OR
- Follow the SCOM Administrator training + SCOM Specialist Advanced Designs training and exams
Next dates for the 2-day SCOM Architect training:
21+22 November 9 AM – 5:30 PM CET
Intended Audience
This SCOM Architect training is for personas who do not need to know all the items discussed in the SCOM Administrator training, except for the role definitions, features, versions, and design pieces. We have bundled those together in the first day of this SCOM Architect training and added the SCOM Advanced Designs specialist training content to it for the second day. This is why both pathways would equally work to attain this certification. This training does not cover the installation and configuration of SCOM itself – this is covered in the SCOM Administrator training and some more specific configuration items in relevant Specialist trainings.
