              **************************************************

   The person taking this course should be very knowledgable in
   SunOS 4.1.x and will be upgrading to solaris 2.0 between now and 
   December 31, 1992 at their site. If you are planning to upgrade
   after January 1, 1993, we will offer a revised version of this 
   course for you at that time. Please see our upcoming January-June 1993
   education catalog for the revised version and course dates.


This course is designed for experienced SunOS 4.1.X System Administrators
planning to upgrade to the Solaris 2.0 Operating Environment.  The
materials covered focus on the system administration differences between 
SunOS 4.1.X (as covered in the System Administration 4.1.X class) and the 
Solaris 2.0 (SMCC Version A) operating system.

NOTE:  This course is not appropriate for entry level or Junior System
Administration professionals.  This is a rigorous and thorough week of
learning how to transition your Sun work environment from the
SunOS 4.1.X operating system to the Solaris 2.0 computing environment.

The course materials will change as the functionality and the features of
the Solaris operating environment evolve in subsequent releases.

Prerequisites:

This course assumes that the student is familiar with all aspects of 
system administration in the SunOS 4.1.X operating system, as covered

can demonstrate two years of UNIX system administration experience.
