About the course
Develop practical Windows Server administration skills through a series of self-paced, hands-on labs covering server installation, configuration, network services, storage management, virtualization, security, and enterprise infrastructure.
The course introduces learners to installing and configuring Nano Server and Server Core, managing Windows services, configuring network-based Windows installation, working with mail servers, and setting up remote administration tools and remote access through VPN connections.
Learners will explore Active Directory infrastructure management, including administering organizational units, containers, user and group accounts, group nesting, Group Policy settings, and Active Directory backup and recovery.
Additional labs cover Hyper-V virtual hard disks, nested virtualization, shared storage using iSCSI, disk types and redundancy, Distributed File System (DFS), file system security, and Windows Server Update Services (WSUS).
The course also addresses event log management, audit policies, performance monitoring, user profiles, folder redirection, web services, database server installation, failover clustering, application virtualization, remote desktop services, collaboration software, and threat management tools.
The labs connect Windows Server concepts with practical administration scenarios, helping learners understand how to deploy and maintain server infrastructure, manage identities and permissions, configure storage and virtualized environments, monitor system performance, and implement security and availability controls.
Activities also reinforce the importance of reliable backup and recovery processes, centralized policy management, and effective troubleshooting in enterprise environments.
By completing the labs, learners will develop foundational skills in Windows Server deployment, Active Directory administration, Group Policy, virtualization, storage management, network services, security auditing, performance monitoring, clustering, and remote administration.
The course provides a practical foundation for further study and professional development in Windows Server administration, enterprise systems management, and IT infrastructure operations.
