Program Overview

Microsoft Infrastructure

Master Windows Server administration, Active Directory Domain Services, Group Policy Objects, and enterprise infrastructure management.

Official Certification Track: This curriculum prepares candidates directly for the Windows Server Hybrid Core Infrastructure (AZ-800 & AZ-801) examination. Instruction incorporates real-world scenario troubleshooting, architectural best practices, and enterprise security compliance.

Curriculum & Course Outline

5 Intensive Hands-on Modules designed for mastery:

Module 1: Enterprise Identity & Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS)

Part 01

Deep dive into Active Directory architecture, multi-forest trusts, domain controllers, and identity management.

  • AD DS Forest and Domain functional levels and schema extensions
  • Deploying primary and Read-Only Domain Controllers (RODC)
  • Kerberos authentication, service principal names (SPN), and trust relationships
  • Organizational Units (OU) delegation and administrative role separation

Module 2: Enterprise Network Services — DNS, DHCP & IPAM

Part 02

Configure resilient networking foundations essential for Microsoft enterprise environments.

  • Authoritative and Active Directory-integrated DNS zones, forwarders, and DNSSEC
  • DHCP scope configuration, reservations, and 80/20 failover split scopes
  • IP Address Management (IPAM) provisioning and audit logging
  • Network Policy Server (NPS) and RADIUS integration for secure network access

Module 3: Hyper-V Virtualization & Software-Defined Storage

Part 03

Build virtualized enterprise datacenters with high-availability failover and shared storage.

  • Hyper-V virtual switch topologies: External, Internal, and Private virtual networks
  • Virtual Machine generation 2 configuration, dynamic memory, and vTPM security
  • Storage Spaces Direct (S2D) and clustered shared volumes (CSV)
  • Failover Clustering deployment and zero-downtime Live Migration

Module 4: Centralized Governance, Security & PowerShell Automation

Part 04

Establish zero-trust administrative boundaries and automate system workflows at scale.

  • Group Policy Object (GPO) processing order (LSDOU), loopback processing, and WMI filters
  • Local Administrator Password Solution (LAPS) and BitLocker network unlock
  • Automating Active Directory user provisioning with PowerShell cmdlets
  • Windows Admin Center modern browser-based server gateway management

Module 5: Backup, Disaster Recovery & Hybrid Cloud Integration

Part 05

Protect critical server workloads and establish hybrid connectivity with Microsoft Azure.

  • Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) and Windows Server Backup strategies
  • System state restore and Active Directory Recycle Bin recovery
  • Azure Arc server onboarding for unified hybrid governance
  • Azure File Sync integration for distributed branch office storage
