A guided tour of the internal design and implementation of the current Windows operating systems, with particular emphasis on system administration issues. Level Basic to intermediate Audience System administrators; system integrators; hardware OEMs; I.T. support personnel Description In this seminar you will learn how the Windows operating system implements several of its key functions. We'll look at how applications are supported; we'll examine how system resources such as processor time and memory are allocated; and see how Windows implements security. At each point, you will also learn how the operation of each system mechanism we describe is reflected in the various system monitoring tools. Topics Tools and terminology System architecture overview Program execution environment Environment subsystems and user-to-kernel call implementation Objects, handles, and security Operating system execution contexts and environment Scheduling Memory management File system cache Understanding Task Manager and the Performance tool
