Launch Server Manager to monitor and manage Windows Server roles—Active Directory, Domain Services, DNS, and file and storage services—across multiple servers from a single console.
Install Hyper-V on Windows Server 22, ensure prerequisites, and configure nested virtualization in a lab. Explore virtual hard disk formats and types and the three virtual switch options.
Explore choosing MBR vs GPT partition tables on Windows Server disks, covering MBR limits (4 primary partitions, 2 TB) and GPT advantages, with Windows Admin Center and Server Manager.
Learn to configure local storage on a Windows Server by creating and resizing volumes, configuring mirrored volumes, and managing virtual hard disks with DiskPart, Windows PowerShell, and the Hyper-V module.
Explore raid technologies that fuse disks into a single logical unit for fault tolerance and performance on Windows Server. Cover mirroring, parity, striping, hardware versus software raid, with backup considerations.
Explore how iSCSI enables remote SCSI storage over TCP/IP networks, pairing initiators and targets to form a storage area network over existing Ethernet.
Discover iSCSI components: the target server and initiator, and how Windows Server provides block storage, diskless boot, and differencing virtual disks for scalable deployments.
Demonstrates configuring SMB shares with server manager and Windows PowerShell, creating a z: volume, and setting access based enumeration for demo share and demo share two.
Configure NFS shares on Windows using quick and advanced profiles, install the NFS server and file server resource manager, and manage shares with PowerShell, Server Manager, or Admin Center.
Configure an NFS share using server manager, install the server for NFS role, enable Kerberos version five authentication, and set read/write permissions for all machines to create demo NFS share.
Discover how Windows Server Storage Spaces and data deduplication enable cost-effective, scalable enterprise storage by virtualization via pools and virtual disks, and by optimizing layout, thin provisioning, and performance.
Learn storage spaces components and features, including layout options (simple, two way and three way mirrors, parity), provisioning, stripe parameters, and drive allocation to balance fault tolerance and performance.
Explore how storage configuration impacts performance and monitor with Windows PowerShell using the storage spaces performance analysis module and Performance Monitor.
Learn to create a storage pool from six disks, build a three-way mirrored virtual disk with thin provisioning, copy files, simulate drive failure, and enable storage tiering.
Learn how data deduplication in Windows Server identifies and removes duplicate data to store more data in less space without compromising integrity, using chunking, compression, and scalable, multithreaded processing.
Create a Red Hat Linux nine lab environment with vagrant and VirtualBox, deploying two virtual machines with static IPs, then test connectivity via ping and ssh.
Extend the volume group with a physical partition and resize the logical volume while the file system is mounted, using vg display, pv create, vg extend, lvextend, and zfs growfs.
