Windows Server 2025 Administration

In this lecture, students will explore the process of installing and configuring Active Directory in Windows Server 2025. The session will cover essential concepts such as directory services, domain controllers.

In this lecture, students will learn how to perform the installation of additional domain controllers within an existing Active Directory environment, understand and configure replication settings to ensure data consistency across domain controllers and Implement strategies for failover and redundancy to improve network resilience and performance.

In this lecture, students will learn how to activate and configure the necessary routing features within Windows Server 2025, Implement and manage routing protocols to facilitate dynamic routing between networks and diagnose and resolve common routing problems to ensure optimal network performance.

In this lecture, students will create and manage Active Directory sites and associate them with appropriate subnet, configure replication settings to enhance efficiency and reduce network traffic within Active Directory and utilize tools to monitor site and service health, diagnosing and resolving common issues related to Active Directory replication and connectivity.

In this lecture, students will learn how set up and configure virtual machines using Hyper-V Manager, including allocating resources and configuring networking, implement and manage virtual networks to facilitate communication between VMs and external resources and use built-in tools to monitor VM performance and apply optimization techniques to ensure efficient resource usage.

In this lecture, students will learn how to successfully install the DHCP Server role and configure initial settings, set up and manage DHCP scopes to allocate IP addresses to clients efficiently, and apply security measures to protect the DHCP infrastructure and troubleshoot common DHCP issues.

In this lecture, students will learn how to set up storage pools and create virtual disks using Storage Spaces to optimize storage resources, implement various resiliency options, such as mirroring and parity, to protect data against hardware failures and use built-in tools to manage and monitor the performance of Storage Spaces effectively.

In this lecture, students will create and configure DFS namespaces to provide a unified file system view across different servers, set up DFS replication to ensure data consistency and availability across multiple locations and use monitoring tools to assess the health of DFS and troubleshoot common issues related to file sharing and replication.

In this lecture, students will learn how to set up and configure NLB clusters to manage incoming traffic effectively, use monitoring tools to assess the performance and health of NLB clusters and Identify and resolve common issues related to network load balancing to ensure optimal service delivery.
