Hello, and welcome to Pluralsight! Welcome to our course, Windows
Server 2022: Manage Storage and File Services.
This is the first module of five, and its title is Configure Azure File Sync.
My name is Tim Warner, and I'm your instructor.
The AZ‑800 certification exam objectives we're covering in this lesson deal
with Azure File Sync, so by the end of the lesson, you'll understand what the
business use case for Azure File Sync is, you'll know how to create an instance
of the service in your Azure subscription,
you'll create sync groups, Cloud endpoints, and register servers. Simple as that.
This course is entitled Manage Storage and File Services, and it's
created to support Microsoft certification exam AZ‑800.
This is one of two exams required to earn your Windows
Server Hybrid Administrator certification.
We actually have two of the five modules devoted to Azure File Sync.
We're doing Configure File Sync now. The next module
is called Manage Azure File Sync.
We then turn our attention to Windows Server File Shares, configuring Windows
Server Storage, and then managing that storage subsystem.
If you're interested in earning the Windows Server Hybrid
Administrator Associate credential, like I said,
there's two exams. The one we're covering in this learning path is AZ‑800
Administering Windows Server Hybrid Core Infrastructure.
The other exam is AZ‑801, that's Configuring Windows
Server Hybrid Advanced Services.
I've covered both exams in the Pluralsight library. It
doesn't matter which one you pass first,
but when you clear the second of those two exams,
you'll earn your Windows Server Hybrid Administrator Associate
certification, and in the Microsoft certification ecosystem, the
associate expert and specialty exams have a one‑year validity, and you
can renew your badge for another year by taking a free online
assessment at Microsoft Learn. As always,
I want to make sure you're situated with the exercise files.
This is where you can get a copy of the slide deck and any scripts
and supplemental resources I develop for you.
The catch here is that you have to be in the Pluralsight web player,
not the mobile app. In the web player,
you'll want to go over to the Exercise files tab and then click Download
exercise files. That will bring down all of the module assets as a single
.zip. You can unpack that .zip archive, and you'll find a PDF of the slide
deck and a subfolder that contains, as I mentioned, various PowerShell scripts,
whatever it is that I'm using to demo, I'll share my resources with you.
But also importantly, I include a links list that brings you
out to relevant Microsoft docs and Pluralsight resources, just
to save you a little bit of time.
I hope you like that. Let's get to the content, shall we?
