Windows Server 20 19 is designed to provide the features needed for small networks for enterprise data
centers and for everything in between.
That means that there are features designed for all levels.
There are no prerequisites for this course.
Whether you're just beginning with Windows servers or if you've been administering them for years there's
something here for you as you go through this course.
There are a few things that will help you get the most out of the presentations and demonstrations here.
First it's always a good idea to build a test lab and follow along with the demonstrations that will
help you to do that.
You should have a robust machine that's installed with Windows Server hyper v or any other virtualization
platform that works for you.
I'm doing all of the demonstrations in this course on a Windows 20 19 Data Center edition server installed
with 128 gig of ram and quite a bit of hard drive space many of the rolls and features that we're going
to discuss in this course are designed to run an Active Directory environments.
If you're already familiar with creating an Active Directory Domain you'll find that the process hasn't
really changed in server 20 19.
If you're new to this.
Pay close attention to the videos on creating a new domain and site and then use that process to build
test environments.
Most of all it will help if you start this course with an open mind.
I'm going to demonstrate installing and managing various roles and capabilities in legacy tools empower
power shell and in a brand new management platform all are available in this new version of Windows
Server and I recommend that you consider each on their relative merits to decide what's best for you.
Well I don't know about you but I'm ready to get started.
