Hello there, and welcome to Pluralsight.
The name of this course is Windows Server 2022: Migrate Servers and Workloads.
The name of this first module of five is Migrate
On‑Premises Storage on Windows Server.
My name is Tim Warner.
I'm your instructor.
Our learning goals for this module are centered
primarily on two technologies, one,
the storage migration service that's built into Windows Server 2022, and
we're going to learn how to cut over file shares, and configurations, and
discussion area access lists to a new server.
The idea really is that you have workloads running on a downlevel
version of Windows Server, and you want a new machine,
say, Windows Server 2022 to subsume or take over the roles from the old server.
We're also going to understand the pathway to using storage
migration to migrate to Azure virtual machines.
There's a couple options here that are definitely hybrid cloud aware.
The other thing we'll do is migrate data to Azure file shares, and that exam
skill is basically an alias to the Azure File Sync service, which you'll
become familiar with by the end of this module.
Let's proceed.
This course is called Windows Server 2022: Migrate Servers and Workloads,
and it's in support of our exam AZ‑801 certification.
I hope that if you haven't watched the AZ‑801 course introduction
I made for Pluralsight that you look that up.
It'll set the stage for you, for sure.
We're in the first of five modules.
This one is on migrating on‑premises storage. We'll then look
at migrating on‑premises servers into Azure, after which we'll
take a look at other workloads.
This one here in this module is primarily the file server role, but
we'll look at some other ones like DHCP and IIS in the Migrate
Workloads to Windows Server 2022 lesson.
Then we will take IIS applications,
not the IIS server, but the applications in your source
code, rehost those apps to Azure, and then we will
understand AD DS infrastructure migration.
That last module is on‑prem only,
so we'll be using the Active Directory migration tools.
A lot of really good valuable skills in this course in particular.
I hope you enjoy it and derive a lot of benefits.
Now, as I said,
this course and this entire learning path is to help you get certified with
your Windows Server Hybrid Administrator Associate credential, and you need
to clear two exams for that. One would be AZ‑800, Administering Windows
Server Hybrid Core Infrastructure.
The other is AZ‑801, Configuring Windows Server Hybrid Advanced Services.
I have taken and passed both of those exams,
so I do have the Hybrid Administrator Associate certification.
You should know if you're new to Microsoft certification that you
will need to pass both of those to earn the badge.
In other words, you can take 800 or 801 first. It doesn't matter
the order, but it isn't until you clear the second of those two
prerequisites that you earn your badge.
There's also a one‑year validity on these badges, but the good news
is that renewal is a painless and free process.
You take a free, online assessment at Microsoft Learn. I get
into the details of that in that AZ‑801 course overview course
that I mentioned a moment ago.
The exercise files, you may already know this,
but in the Pluralsight web player, you'll go over to the Exercise files tab,
Download exercise files,
unpack the zip archive. There's a folder for each module, and
then I have a PDF version of my slide deck.
And then in that demos folder, there will normally be a
links list and other supplemental files like script files,
depending upon what I'm doing.
I like to use Visual Studio Code to view those links lists,
so I can click right out of that page.
The links list is just a collection of Microsoft docs
resources. That can save you from having to make notes
while you're going through my lessons. All right, enough of the preliminaries. Let's get into the actual content, next.
