Course Overview
TopLearn the basic skills required to effectively design, configure, populate, and maintain the health of the ServiceNow CMDB.
This course has been designed to provide ServiceNow administrators, implementers, and architects with the basic skills required to effectively design, configure, populate, and maintain the health of the ServiceNow CMDB.
The course is based off the content of the CMDB Fundamentals eLearning currently available on NOW Learning. The course is designed to encourage student participation that will include individual and group planning and discussions plus hands on configuration led by an experienced ServiceNow CMDB facilitator.
During this three-day interactive training course, students need to register on NOW Learning for the Configuration Management Database Fundamentals eLearning course as this will act as the student online guide for the course.
Attendees will have access to the NOW platform using an individual student instance, which is a “safe sandbox” plus receive a Windows Server that acts as a MID Server with access to targets used to run Discovery and Service Mapping. In addition, students receive simulator instances to work through a series of tasks designed to reinforce CMDB Configuration and Health principals.
