About the Course

This Microsoft Windows Server 2019 course is a follow-up to two Server 2012 courses (parts I and II) and a Server 2016 course. It focuses on teaching you how to install and configure Windows Server 2019 quickly and easily. The course starts with an overview of what you should expect out of this course and then takes you straight to building your virtual lab environment. You’ll learn how to build a Windows Server 2019 domain using PowerShell, and later move on to Active Directory and Server 2019 administration. As you advance, you’ll also get to grips with technologies such as Group Policy, Domain Naming System (DNS), and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). Finally, you’ll cover disk management and firewall administration. By the end of this course, you’ll have learned how to install, configure, and manage the most common roles and services found in a Microsoft Windows 2019 network.
