Windows Server Administration: Infrastructure Fundamentals

10+ hours of practical instruction covering the core systems every administrator must master. You''ll start with deployment concepts—Nano Server''s 500 MB lightweight footprint, hardened Core OS for security-sensitive roles—then move into the interlocking infrastructure systems: Active Directory for identity and group policy, DNS for name resolution, DHCP for IP allocation, and file replication via DFS.

The scope spans the full administrative landscape: WSUS for patch management, Hyper-V for virtualization, Network Load Balancing for high availability, print server deployment, Windows Deployment Services for automated imaging, and built-in monitoring and backup tools. The course builds no prior Server experience required; the structured progression makes it equally useful for self-study or as preparation for the Microsoft 70-740 MCSA certification exam. Each topic builds practical confidence so you leave ready to configure real enterprise infrastructure and troubleshoot live systems.
