Course Overview

Administering Microsoft SQL Server 2022 by Microsoft is a comprehensive course designed for database professionals responsible for managing and maintaining SQL Server database infrastructures. While there is no direct successor to the retired Exam 70-764, this training aligns with the skills measured in the current Microsoft Certified: Azure Database Administrator Associate certification, particularly the DP-300 exam objectives. The course serves database administrators, cloud database specialists, and hybrid infrastructure engineers who ensure efficient, secure, and highly available data systems. With over 75% of enterprise workloads relying on SQL Server and its cloud-integrated services, expertise in administering Microsoft SQL Server 2022 remains a critical skillset demanded across industries including finance, healthcare, and technology.

This course covers core technologies including SQL Server 2022, Azure SQL Database, SQL Server Agent, Windows PowerShell, Extended Events, and Database Mail, using Microsoft’s official curriculum. Students engage in hands-on labs within a simulated environment that mirrors real-world on-premises and cloud deployments, building and configuring automated maintenance plans, security policies, and high availability solutions. A key lab project involves implementing a complete backup, monitoring, and alerting strategy for a hybrid SQL environment, where learners configure Database Mail notifications, set up SQL Server Agent jobs, and use PowerShell scripts to automate instance configurations across multiple servers.

By completing Administering Microsoft SQL Server 2022, learners gain the practical skills needed to prepare for the DP-300 exam and achieve Microsoft Certified: Azure Database Administrator Associate status, a credential recognized globally for validating cloud and on-premises database expertise. Certified professionals report average salaries of $113,000 to $144,000 annually, with strong demand for hybrid database management skills. Koenig Solutions enhances this learning path with Guaranteed-to-Run batches and 1-on-1 training, ensuring personalized attention and official Microsoft courseware.
