Great course for anyone wanting to learn Windows Server 2019. The labs are concise and precisely targeted towards a specific sysadmin task. Any prior server knowledge would definitely be helpful, but not a compulsion.

Overall, I found the course material to be great. The content was easy to listen to, and the steps were outlined fairly well, which made it relatively easy to follow. However, I did encounter some confusion during a few lectures regarding which server the instructor was working on. It would have been helpful if, at the beginning, we had been asked to set up all the servers we’d need for the entire course, so that we could follow along more easily as the lessons progressed. If I missed that step, then that’s on me, but I think having it laid out upfront would have made it smoother to follow.

Great material overall, just a suggestion for clarity.
