Administering Windows Server Hybrid Core Infrastructure
This AZ-800 Windows Server Hybrid course teaches IT professionals how to manage on-premises and hybrid infrastructure using Windows Server and Microsoft Azure, covering identity, networking, virtualization, storage, and hybrid management.
AZ-800T00: Administering Windows Server Hybrid Core Infrastructure is an instructor-led training program designed to help IT professionals manage modern hybrid environments that combine traditional on-premises Windows Server infrastructure with Microsoft Azure services.
As organizations increasingly adopt cloud technologies, many IT environments now operate in a hybrid infrastructure model, where workloads run both on-premises and in the cloud. Administrators must understand how to integrate identity, compute, networking, storage, and security services across these environments while maintaining performance, reliability, and compliance.
This course provides a comprehensive learning pathway that enables administrators to deploy, manage, and secure Windows Server workloads in hybrid environments. Participants will gain hands-on experience managing Active Directory, configuring hybrid identity solutions, deploying Azure virtual machines, implementing virtualization, and managing enterprise networking services.
Throughout the four-day program, learners explore how to integrate on-premises infrastructure with Microsoft Azure using technologies such as Microsoft Entra ID, Azure Arc, Azure Automanage, and Azure File Sync. The course also covers enterprise management tools such as Windows Admin Center, PowerShell, and Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT).
What learners will gain from this course:
A solid understanding of Windows Server hybrid infrastructure architecture
Practical skills to manage Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS)
The ability to integrate on-premises identity with Microsoft Entra ID
Experience deploying and managing Azure virtual machines
Knowledge of networking, DNS, DHCP, and remote access services
