Course Overview
This course provides essential training for AZ-104 and Microsoft Identity professionals, focusing on the evolution from legacy Active Directory Rights Management Services to modern Microsoft Purview Information Protection. While on-premises AD RMS remains a foundational component for securing sensitive digital content, this curriculum emphasizes the transition to cloud-based Azure Information Protection. Designed for system administrators and security engineers, this training ensures expertise in enforcing granular access controls across hybrid environments. Learners gain the skills necessary to manage data protection strategies that align with current industry standards for security, compliance, and identity management.
Students explore core technologies including Active Directory Domain Services, Microsoft SQL Server, and the transition to Microsoft Purview. Through hands-on labs, participants configure legacy AD RMS root clusters while learning to implement modern information protection policies. A key project involves building secure document-sharing solutions, simulating real-world scenarios where protected files remain secure regardless of location. The lab environment utilizes PowerShell and modern management consoles to configure certificate trust relationships and integrate federated identities, bridging the gap between traditional server infrastructure and contemporary cloud-based security architectures.
This course supports professionals pursuing the SC-300 Microsoft Identity and Access Administrator or AZ-104 Azure Administrator certifications, which validate expertise in enterprise identity and data security. By mastering both legacy AD RMS and modern information protection, candidates position themselves for high-demand roles in data governance and compliance. Koenig Solutions enhances this learning experience through official Microsoft courseware and expert-led instruction, ensuring participants can design resilient strategies that evolve from on-premises legacy systems to comprehensive cloud-based protection, securing long-term career growth in the rapidly advancing field of data security.
