Course Overview

The SolarWinds Network Configuration Management course by Solarwinds is designed for IT professionals seeking to master network configuration automation, compliance, and change management using the SolarWinds Platform. This training prepares candidates for the SolarWinds Certified Professional (SCP) exam in Network Configuration Manager (NCM), a credential that validates expertise in managing complex, multi-vendor network environments. Target roles include Network Administrators, Systems Engineers, and IT Compliance Officers responsible for maintaining secure, auditable network infrastructures. With over 300,000 customers globally relying on SolarWinds solutions, demand for certified professionals who can ensure policy adherence, automate backups, and respond to configuration drift is growing across enterprises and government agencies.

Participants engage with core components of SolarWinds NCM including real-time change detection, automated firmware upgrades, configuration backup scheduling, policy compliance reporting, device template customization, and inventory scanning—all delivered through the SolarWinds Orion Web Console. The hands-on labs are conducted in Koenig-DC, a dedicated lab environment where students configure end-to-end workflows such as creating change approval templates, deploying bulk configuration updates across routers and switches, and setting up email alerts for unauthorized changes. A key project involves establishing a baseline configuration for a Cisco switch, simulating a real-world scenario where students detect deviations, generate audit reports, and restore compliant settings to meet regulatory standards like HIPAA and DISA STIG.

This course directly supports preparation for the SCP Network Configuration Manager certification, recognized within the industry for validating practical skills in network automation and security compliance. Certified professionals report career advancement opportunities and competitive salaries, with mid-level roles averaging between 8–12 LPA in India and higher globally. Koenig Solutions enhances learning with Guaranteed-to-Run batches, official SolarWinds courseware, and access to expert instructors for 1-on-1 doubt resolution. Upon completion, graduates are equipped to streamline network operations, reduce downtime from misconfigurations, and pursue roles such as SolarWinds Automation Specialist or Network Compliance Analyst in top organizations including Infosys, TCS, and HCL.
