Testimonials
Jason H.
This course pushed my Windows Server knowledge to the next level. The hands-on labs were incredibly practical, and setting up Hyper-V, schema management, and IIS gave me real confidence. I now understand how Active Directory stores information about users and resources in a Windows domain, and feel ready to manage complex server setups at work.
Maria S.
Exactly what I needed after finishing Part 1. The coverage of disaster recovery and FSMO roles was excellent. I appreciated how clearly everything was explained and demonstrated—it felt like learning in a real server environment.
Rajesh P.
A solid deep dive into advanced administration. The monitoring and backup sections were particularly valuable, and I appreciated the practical focus on Group Policy. While a few modules could have provided more beginner context, the coverage of AD objects, computer accounts, and managing other groups made it a strong step forward in mastering network administration.
