The module describes how to deploy domain controllers in AD DS, as well as Azure Active Directory (AD) and the benefits of integrating Azure AD with AD DS. The module also covers Group Policy basics and how to configure group policy objects (GPOs) in a domain environment.LessonsIntroduction to AD DSManage AD DS domain controllers and FSMO rolesImplement Group Policy ObjectsManage advanced features of AD DSLab : Implementing identity services and Group PolicyDeploying a new domain controller on Server CoreConfiguring Group PolicyModule 2: Implementing identity in hybrid scenariosThis module discusses how to configure an Azure environment so that Windows IaaS workloads requiring Active Directory are supported. The module also covers integration of on-premises Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) environment into Azure. Finally, the module explains how to extend an existing Active Directory environment into Azure by placing IaaS VMs configured as domain controllers onto a specially configured Azure virtual network subnet.LessonsImplement hybrid identity with Windows ServerDeploy and manage Azure IaaS Active Directory domain controllers in AzureLab : Implementing integration between AD DS and Azure ADPreparing Azure AD for AD DS integrationPreparing on-premises AD DS for Azure AD integrationDownloading, installing, and configuring Azure AD ConnectVerifying integration between AD DS and Azure ADImplementing Azure AD integration features in AD DSModule 3: Windows Server administrationThis module describes how to implement the principle of least privilege through Privileged Access Workstation (PAW) and Just Enough Administration (JEA). The module also highlights several common Windows Server administration tools, such as Windows Admin Center, Server Manager, and PowerShell. This module also describes the post-installation configuration process and tools available to use for this process, such as sconfig and Desired State Configuration (DSC).LessonsPerform Windows Server secure administrationDescribe Windows Server administration toolsPerform post-installation configuration of Windows ServerJust Enough Administration in Windows ServerLab : Managing Windows ServerImplementing and using remote server administrationModule 4: Facilitating hybrid managementThis module covers tools that facilitate managing Windows IaaS VMs remotely. The module also covers how to use Azure Arc with on-premises server instances, how to deploy Azure policies with Azure Arc, and how to use role-based access control (RBAC) to restrict access to Log Analytics data.LessonsAdminister and manage Windows Server IaaS virtual machines remotelyManage hybrid workloads with Azure ArcLab : Using Windows Admin Center in hybrid scenariosProvisioning Azure VMs running Windows ServerImplementing hybrid connectivity by using the Azure Network AdapterDeploying Windows Admin Center gateway in AzureVerifying functionality of the Windows Admin Center gateway in AzureModule 5: Hyper-V virtualization in Windows ServerThis module describes how to implement and configure Hyper-V VMs and containers. The module covers key features of Hyper-V in Windows Server, describes VM settings, and how to configure VMs in Hyper-V. The module also covers security technologies used with virtualization, such as shielded VMs, Host Guardian Service, admin-trusted and TPM-trusted attestation, and Key Protection Service (KPS). Finally, this module covers how to run containers and container workloads, and how to orchestrate container workloads on Windows Server using Kubernetes.LessonsConfigure and manage Hyper-VConfigure and manage Hyper-V virtual machinesSecure Hyper-V workloadsRun containers on Windows ServerOrchestrate containers on Windows Server using KubernetesLab : Implementing and configuring virtualization in Windows ServerCreating and configuring VMsInstalling and configuring containersModule 6: Deploying and configuring Azure VMsThis module describes Azure compute and storage in relation to Azure VMs, and how to deploy Azure VMs by using the Azure portal, Azure CLI, or templates. The module also explains how to create new VMs from generalized images and use Azure Image Builder templates to create and manage images in Azure. Finally, this module describes how to deploy Desired State Configuration (DSC) extensions, mplement those extensions to remediate noncompliant servers, and use custom script extensions.LessonsPlan and deploy Windows Server IaaS virtual machinesCustomize Windows Server IaaS virtual machine imagesAutomate the configuration of Windows Server IaaS virtual machinesLab : Deploying and configuring Windows Server on Azure VMsAuthoring Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates for Azure VM deploymentModifying ARM templates to include VM extension-based configurationDeploying Azure VMs running Windows Server by using ARM templatesConfiguring administrative access to Azure VMs running Windows ServerConfiguring Windows Server security in Azure VMsModule 7: Network infrastructure services in Windows ServerThis module describes how to implement core network infrastructure services in Windows Server, such as DHCP and DNS.
