Configuring Windows Server Hybrid Advanced Services

This AZ-801 course teaches IT professionals how to configure advanced Windows Server hybrid services, including security hardening, high availability, disaster recovery, migration, and hybrid monitoring across on-premises infrastructure and Microsoft Azure environments.

AZ-801: Configuring Windows Server Hybrid Advanced Services is an advanced instructor-led training program designed for IT professionals responsible for managing hybrid infrastructure environments that combine on-premises Windows Server workloads with Microsoft Azure services.


As organizations increasingly adopt hybrid cloud strategies, administrators must manage both traditional infrastructure and modern cloud-based platforms while ensuring security, reliability, and operational efficiency. This course focuses on advanced administration tasks required to secure, migrate, monitor, and maintain Windows Server workloads across hybrid environments.


The program explores how Windows Server administrators can leverage Azure capabilities to enhance security, improve availability, and simplify operations. Participants will learn to implement hybrid security solutions, perform infrastructure migrations, and configure monitoring tools that ensure system performance and resilience across distributed environments.


Over four days, learners gain hands-on experience implementing advanced features including high availability clusters, disaster recovery solutions, hybrid monitoring, and migration strategies that move workloads from on-premises environments to Azure infrastructure.


What learners will gain from this course:

  • A deeper understanding of advanced Windows Server hybrid architecture

  • Skills to implement security hardening and hybrid security solutions

  • The ability to configure high availability and failover clustering

  • Experience deploying disaster recovery and backup strategies

  • Knowledge to migrate Windows Server workloads to Azure

  • Skills to monitor infrastructure using Azure Monitor and Azure Arc

  • Practical experience troubleshooting hybrid network and infrastructure issues
