Overview

The perfect resource for learning from the ground up, Eckert's HANDS-ON MICROSOFT® WINDOWS® SERVER 2022 equips students with a solid foundation in basic server administration -- no prior experience required. It covers all of the core Windows® Server 2022 features using a logical topic flow and step-by-step exercises that can be performed within a home or college lab environment, making it ideal for a Windows® Server administration course. Students learn how to deploy Windows® Server 2022 in a variety of different environments, configure and manage server storage, troubleshoot performance issues and work with common technologies and network services such as Active Directory, PowerShell, DNS, DHCP, IIS, file sharing, printing and remote access. Additionally, students learn how to run Windows Server 2022 virtual machines and containers within cloud environments, host Linux network services using the Windows Subsystem for Linux, as well as configure key security technologies including certificates, 802.1X, WSUS, and Microsoft Defender. Hands-on projects and discovery exercises help learners engage and actively apply their skills in real-world scenarios. Also available: MindTap.
