Install and Configure Windows Server 2019, 2016 and 2012
This hands-on course is aimed at systems administrators using both Server 2019, Server 2016 and Server 2012, because Windows have a very similar interface and set of functionalities. Many networks will run a combination of these, so this course uses them side by side to give attendees the best of both worlds.
However, Server 2019 also introduces some new features such as containers and storage replication which are also covered. It will give you the practical knowledge you need, in easy to understand chunks; so you can go back to your working environment ready to put what you have learnt straight into practice. You will have your own Hyper-V host to perform different Windows Server tasks on, as well as an extensive course manual, which you can take away as your future reference guide.
