Hello there, and welcome to Pluralsight!
Welcome to the course Windows Server 2022: Monitor and
Troubleshoot Server Environments.
This is the first module entitled Monitor Windows Server Using Local Tools.
My name is Tim Warner, and I'm your instructor.
All of our learning goals arise from exam AZ‑801,
one of the two exams that are required to earn your Windows
Server Hybrid Administrator Associate credential.
Specifically in this first module, we'll manage event logs,
we will monitor Windows Server using Perf Mon,
or the Performance Monitor.
Specifically, the exam calls out Data Collector Sets,
so we'll definitely review that.
We'll understand and know how to monitor servers and
configure alerts with Windows Admin Center,
paying particular attention to the AI‑powered Systems Insights capability.
As I mentioned, we're concerned in this course,
which is called Windows Server 2022: Monitor and
Troubleshoot Server Environments,
with covering all of the related exam objectives on AZ‑801.
Monitor and troubleshoot really sums it up, though.
We've got monitoring Windows using local tools in this lesson.
In the next module, we'll continue the same trend of monitoring Windows Server,
but we'll focus our management plane directly in Azure.
The third module concerns troubleshooting hybrid networking.
Then, we troubleshoot virtual machine deployment failures,
both on‑prem and in Azure.
Then we do the same thing, hybrid cloud VM connection troubleshooting.
And then lastly,
we come back home on‑premises to troubleshoot Active Directory The
name of the certification that we're preparing for is Windows
Server Hybrid Administrator Associate.
And as you can see here, there are two exams required to earn your credential.
There's AZ‑800 Administering Windows Server Hybrid Core Infrastructure.
There's also AZ‑801, what we're doing here,
Configuring Windows Server Hybrid Advanced Services.
Now I do have a separate short introduction course for both
of these exams in the Pluralsight library,
so I strongly suggest you take a look at those at your earliest convenience.
Know that you won't get your administrator associate badge
until you've cleared both of the prerequisites.
Now, it doesn't matter whether you take AZ‑800 or 801 first.
The order is totally up to you.
As soon as you clear the second of the two exams,
you'll have your badge,
and the associate‑level badges in Microsoft‑land have a one‑year active period.
The good news is that you can easily, well,
relatively speaking easily,
renew your certification for another year by taking a free
online assessment at Microsoft Learn.
I get into that in the aforementioned introductions.
So let's get ahead here, finishing out our intro,
and getting into the good stuff, the actual course material.
Speaking of course material,
to make sure you know where to find the exercise files,
as long as you're in the full Pluralsight web player,
you go over to Exercise files,
and then you can download those exercise files to your computer,
unpack the zip archive, there's a folder for each module.
In each module folder, there's a PDF version of my slide deck.
And lastly, there may or may not be script files,
depending upon what I'm teaching.
The links list that I provide is useful because it's going
to sum up any Microsoft Docs articles that supplement what
you've learned in the course, so those should serve as a nice homework assignment for you to review.
