This course is for anyone who wants to improve their skills in Windows Server Administration. This course will teach you from the basics to advance topics of installing, configuring and managing a windows server. I wanted to focus on real world scenarios. Something that emulates a real network with a server and a client computer. That's what I chose Hyper-V as the hypervisor for the virtual lab and Windows Server 2022 and Windows 11 as the Server - client computers. Many of the task in System Administration consist on configuring client - server applications and services. In order to gain competence as a Systems Administrator you have to practice configuring and managing difference services and set the client computer to communicate with the server, that is the bread and butter of a systems administrator. Most of the call you will face when supporting servers and clients computers will involve that scenario, where there’s a client communicating to an application or service running on the server. That’s why I decided to create this course to cover from the basics to more advance topics. By the end of this course you will gain competence in performing the most essential task of Windows System Administration.
