This course equips learners with the essential knowledge and competencies required to utilise PowerShell for the administration and automation of Windows server environments. Participants will develop the ability to identify and construct the necessary commands to execute specific tasks. Furthermore, students will acquire the skills to develop scripts that facilitate advanced operations, such as automating routine processes and producing reports. The content provides prerequisite capabilities that support a wide array of Microsoft products, including Windows Server, Windows Client, Microsoft Azure, and Microsoft 365. Aligned with this objective, the course does not concentrate on any single product; however, Windows Server serves as the exemplar for teaching these techniques, as it functions as the common platform for all the aforementioned products.

This course equips IT professionals with the skills to manage Azure subscriptions, secure identities, administer infrastructure, configure virtual networking, connect Azure with on-premises environments, manage network traffic, implement storage solutions, create and scale virtual machines, deploy web apps and containers, back up and share data, and monitor overall solutions.

Designed for Azure Administrators, this training covers the implementation, management, and monitoring of identity, governance, storage, compute, and virtual networks within a cloud environment. Azure Administrators will learn to provision, size, monitor, and adjust resources as required.

This course instructs Azure administrators on how to plan, deliver, and manage virtual desktop experiences and remote applications for any device on Azure. Through a combination of demonstrations and hands-on labs, students will learn to deploy virtual desktop experiences and apps on Azure Virtual Desktop, optimizing them for multi-session virtual environments.

This programme equips Solutions Architects with the skills to translate business requirements into secure, scalable, and reliable solutions.
