Module 1 Dive into Windows Server Hybrid Infrastructure: 1. Role of a Server OS: Manages network resources, services, and device communication. 2. Server: Hardware vs. Software: Hardware: Reliable physical machines. Software: Programs delivering network services. 3. Server vs. Desktop OS: Server OS: Supports scalability, resource management, and multi-user hosting. Desktop OS: Focuses on individual tasks and ease of use. 4. Windows Server 2022 Roles: Includes Active Directory, DNS, file sharing, Hyper-V, and IIS for network management. 5. Core Technologies: Server Manager: Configures servers. NTFS: Secure file system. MMC: Management interface. Disk Management: Manages storage. File Sharing: Shares resources. Networking: Connectivity protocols. PowerShell: Automation tool. Hyper-V: Virtualization. Storage Spaces: Software-defined storage. 6. Windows Server Hybrid Infrastructure: Cloud Models: On-premises, hybrid, and cloud. Microsoft Azure: Cloud platform. Azure VM: Virtual machines in the cloud. Accessing Azure VM: Remote management of virtual servers. Module 2 Discover Active Directory (AD): 1. Role of a Directory Service: Manages network resources like users and devices. 2. AD Domain Services: Centralizes authentication, authorization, and resource management. 3. AD Structure: Physical: Sites for efficient replication. Logical: OUs: Grouping objects. Domains: Core unit for admin. Trees: Hierarchical domain grouping. Forests: Groups of trees with shared configurations. 4. Install AD: Additional Domain Controllers: Redundancy and load balancing. Server Core Installation: Minimal setup. Install from Media: Faster setup using pre-created database. 5. Objects in AD: Schema: Defines object classes and attributes. Containers: Hold objects. Leaf Objects: Individual items like users and computers.  Recycle Bin: Restore deleted objects. Locating Objects: Use ADUC or PowerShell. 6. Create Forests, Trees, and Domains: Organize resources in hierarchical structures. 7. AD Terminology: Replication: Synchronizing data between domain controllers. Intrasite/Intersite Replication: Within or between sites. Multimaster Replication: Any DC can update AD data. KCC: Optimizes replication topology. Directory Partition: Divides AD data for replication. 8. Role of Forests: Facilitates collaboration between different domain namespaces. 9. Domains & Trees: Domains are primary units; trees are hierarchical domain groupings. 10. Group Policy: Computer/User Configuration: Applies settings to computers or users. Policy Application: Processed in order: Local, Site, Domain, OU. Module 3: Manage AD Accounts OUs: Delegate admin tasks, control permissions, and manage hidden properties. User Accounts: Create/modify, disable, and configure account settings. Group Accounts: Manage types, scope, nesting, and conversions. Computer Accounts: Add and manage computer objects. Service Accounts: Manage standard, managed, and Kerberos delegation. Hybrid AD: Sync on-prem AD with Azure AD using AD Connect and Cloud Sync. Module 4: Configure Group Policies GPOs: Local/domain GPOs for settings, templates, and replication. Policy Settings: Software deployment, script automation, and folder redirection. Administrative Templates: Apply computer/user config, store templates, and migrate. Preferences: Apply settings at logon with item-level targeting. Policy Processing: LSDO, inheritance, filtering, and loopback processing. Azure AD DS: Manage settings for Azure Active Directory. Module 5: Configure Domains AD Concepts: Manage resources via AD features. RODC: Set up and replicate read-only domain controllers. Sites: Organize AD structure, speed searches with global catalog. Replication: Intrasite, intersite, and SYSVOL/GPO sync. Multidomain: Add subdomains, trees, and configure UPN suffixes. Trusts: Manage transitive, shortcut, and forest trusts. Azure DC: Deploy domain controllers in Azure for hybrid use. Module 6: Manage Windows Server in a Hybrid Environment Server Roles: Configure via GUI or PowerShell. Remote Management: Use Server Manager and PowerShell for centralized control. Windows Admin Center: Browser-based server management tool.  Azure Services: Manage on-prem and multi-cloud servers with Azure Arc and Security Center. JIT Access & Runbooks: Limit VM access and automate tasks. DSC: Ensure consistent configurations on Azure VMs. Module 9: Implement Network Connectivity Remote Access Server: Set up VPNs and site-to-site VPNs. NPS: Centralized RADIUS authentication and policy management. Web Application Proxy: Secure access to web and Remote Desktop apps. Azure Networking: Connect Azure resources, extend networks, and use Azure AD Proxy for secure app publishing.
