Configuring Windows Server Hybrid Advanced Services

Configuring Windows Server Hybrid Advanced Services course is designed for IT professionals who configure advanced Windows Server services using on-premises, hybrid, and cloud technologies. These professionals manage and support an infrastructure that includes on-premises and Azure IaaS-hosted Windows Server-based workloads.

Configuring Windows Server Hybrid Advanced Services training teaches IT professionals, how to leverage the hybrid capabilities of Azure, how to migrate virtual and physical server workloads to Azure IaaS, and how to manage and secure Azure VMs running Windows Server. The course also covers how to perform tasks related to high availability, troubleshooting, and disaster recovery. The course highlights various administrative tools and technologies, including Windows Admin Center, PowerShell, Azure Arc, Azure Automation Update Management, Microsoft Defender for Identity, Azure Security Center, Azure Migrate, and Azure Monitor.

Learning Objectives

• Harden the security configuration of the Windows Server operating system environment
• Enhance hybrid security using Azure Security Center, Azure Sentinel, and Windows Update Management
• Apply security features to protect critical resources
• Implement high availability and disaster recovery solutions
• Implement recovery services in hybrid scenarios
• Plan and implement hybrid and cloud-only migration, backup, and recovery scenarios
• Perform upgrades and migration related to AD DS, and storage
• Manage and monitor hybrid scenarios using WAC, Azure Arc, Azure Automation and Azure Monitor
• Implement service monitoring and performance monitoring, and apply troubleshooting.

Prerequisites

Required

• Experience with managing Windows Server operating system and Windows Server workloads in on-premises scenarios, including AD DS, DNS, DFS, Hyper-V, and File and Storage Services
• Experience with common Windows Server management tools
• Basic knowledge of core Microsoft compute, storage, networking, and virtualization technologies
• Experience and an understanding of core networking technologies such as IP addressing, name resolution, and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
• Experience working with and an understanding of Microsoft Hyper-V and basic server virtualization concepts

Recommended

• Basic knowledge of Azure Active Directory
