About the Course
Modern organizations demand more than just a server that works; they need standardization, security, uptime, and cost control. Whether you’re supporting finance systems, HR platforms, file services, Active Directory, virtualization, remote access, backups, or critical line-of-business apps, leadership expects predictable operations and controlled risk.
This course transforms Windows Server 2022 from "IT department knowledge" into an operational advantage. Participants will learn to design and implement core server roles, manage identity and access through Active Directory and Group Policy, secure servers with modern Windows security features, automate routine administration with PowerShell, and maintain patching, performance, logs, backups, and recovery plans. Troubleshooting issues quickly using systematic workflows is also a key focus.
The course emphasizes practical administration outcomes: stable builds, repeatable configuration, strong access controls, secure operations, and measurable uptime improvements.
