The content of this intensive training is derived from the exam «AZ-801: Configuring Windows Server Hybrid Advanced Services». Start preparing for the course on Microsoft Learn now. During the intensive training days with the instructor you will work with the official Microsoft course material (more information under «Methodology & didactics»).
The course 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 secure Azure VMs running Windows Server. The course also teaches IT Professionals how to perform tasks related to high availability, troubleshooting, and disaster recovery. The course highlights 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.
1 Secure Windows Server on-premises and hybrid infrastructures
Learn to secure your on-premises Windows Server resources and your Azure IaaS workloads. Determine if those resources have any security vulnerabilities, and remediate those potential security vulnerabilities.
2 Implement Windows Server high availability
Learn to implement high availability Windows Server virtual machine (VM) workloads with Hyper-V Replica, Windows Server Failover Clustering, and Windows Server File Server high availability.
3 Implement disaster recovery in Windows Server on-premises and hybrid environments
Learn how to use Hyper-V Replica to provide an affordable BCDR solution for a virtual environment. Learn also how to implement Azure Site Recovery for in on-premises scenarios and to protect your Azure infrastructure.
4 Migrate servers and workloads in on-premises and hybrid environments
Learn to migrate a workload running in Windows Server to an infrastructure as a service (IaaS) virtual machine (VM) and to Windows Server by using Windows Server migration tools or the Storage Migration Service.
5 Monitor and troubleshoot Windows Server environments
Learn to use monitoring and troubleshooting tools, processes, and best practices to streamline app performance and availability of your Windows Server environment and your Windows Server IaaS VMs and hybrid instances.
This four-day course is intended for Windows Server Hybrid Administrators who have experience working with Windows Server and want to extend the capabilities of their on-premises environments by combining on-premises and hybrid technologies.
Windows Server Hybrid Administrators who already implement and manage on-premises core technologies want to secure and protect their environments, migrate virtual and physical workloads to Azure Iaas, enable a highly available, fully redundant environment, and perform monitoring and troubleshooting.
- 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 (implied in the first prerequisite)
- Basic knowledge of core Microsoft compute, storage, networking, and virtualization technologies (implied in the first prerequisite)
- 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
- An awareness of basic security best practices
- Basic understanding of security-related technologies (firewalls, encryption, multi-factor authentication, SIEM/SOAR).
- Basic knowledge of on-premises resiliency Windows Server-based compute and storage technologies (Failover Clustering, Storage Spaces).
- Basic experience with implementing and managing IaaS services in Microsoft Azure
- Basic knowledge of Azure Active Directory
- Experience working hands-on with Windows client operating systems such as Windows 10 or Windows 11
- Basic experience with Windows PowerShell
An understanding of the following concepts as related to Windows Server technologies:
- High availability and disaster recovery
- Automation
- Monitoring
- Troubleshooting
This intensive training prepares you for:
- Exam: «AZ-801: Configuring Windows Server Hybrid Advanced Services» for the second and final step to the
- Certification: «Microsoft Certified: Windows Server Hybrid Administrator Associate»
You can also acquire this certificate in our bootcamp (incl. exams AZ-800 and AZ-801).
