This four-day classroom course is designed for IT professionals who configure advanced Windows Server services using on-premises, hybrid and cloud-based technologies. These professionals manage and support an infrastructure that includes on-premises and Windows Server-based workloads hosted in Azure IaaS. In this course, IT professionals will learn how to leverage Azure's hybrid capabilities, migrate virtual and physical server workloads to Azure IaaS, and manage and protect Azure VMs on Windows Server. The course also covers performing tasks related to high availability, troubleshooting and disaster recovery. This course introduces various management tools and technologies such as Windows Admin Center, PowerShell, Azure Arc, Azure Automation update management, Microsoft Defender for Identity, Azure Security Center, Azure Migrate and Azure Monitor.

In this course, participants will gain the following skills:
  • Harden the security configuration of the Windows Server operating system environment.
  • Improve 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 pure cloud migration, backup and recovery scenarios.
  • Perform upgrades and migrations related to AD DS and storage.
  • Manage and monitor hybrid scenarios with WAC, Azure Arc, Azure Automation and Azure Monitor.
  • Implement service and performance monitoring and apply troubleshooting.

  • Knowledge of basic security best practices
  • Basic knowledge of security-related technologies (firewalls, encryption, multi-level authentication, SIEM/SOAR)
  • Basic knowledge of Windows Server-based compute and storage technologies for local resilience (failover clustering, storage)
  • Basic knowledge of implementing and managing IaaS services in Microsoft Azure
  • Basic knowledge of working with Azure Active Directory
  • Practical experience of using Windows client operating systems such as Windows 10 or Windows 11
  • Basic experience with Windows PowerShell
An understanding of the following concepts related to Windows Server technologies:
  • High availability and disaster recovery
