Course Overview
The DO417 - Microsoft Windows Automation with Red Hat Ansible course, offered by Red Hat, equips system administrators, DevOps engineers, and developers with the skills to automate Microsoft Windows server management using Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform. This course prepares learners for the Red Hat Certified Specialist in Microsoft Windows Automation with Ansible Exam (EX417), a performance-based credential that validates expertise in heterogeneous IT environments. With over 70% of Fortune 500 companies adopting Ansible for automation, this training meets growing industry demand for professionals who can streamline Windows operations across hybrid infrastructures. Designed for IT roles responsible for deploying and managing Windows servers and applications, DO417 assumes only basic Windows Server knowledge and no prior Linux or Ansible experience, making it accessible to a broad audience seeking to modernize their automation capabilities.
Students engage with key technologies including Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform, Ansible Tower (now Automation Controller), Visual Studio Code, Git-based version control, PowerShell Desired State Configuration (DSC), and Jinja2 templating. The hands-on lab environment, hosted on a pre-configured Red Hat learning platform, enables learners to build and execute real-world automation workflows. Participants configure Windows systems for Ansible management, create dynamic inventories based on Active Directory domain membership, and deploy software using automated playbooks. A key project involves constructing Ansible roles and workflows that integrate with Git to ensure version control and repeatability, simulating enterprise-scale scenarios where consistent configuration and change tracking are critical for compliance and operational efficiency.
Completing DO417 prepares candidates for the EX417 certification, recognized globally as a benchmark for Windows automation proficiency within Ansible environments. Certified professionals report salary increases of up to 25%, with roles like Automation Engineer and DevOps Engineer commanding average annual earnings between ₹6L and ₹22L in markets like Pune, India. Koenig Solutions enhances this path with 1-on-1 training and Guaranteed-to-Run batches using official Red Hat courseware, ensuring learners gain hands-on experience with current tools and exam objectives. Graduates are positioned to lead automation initiatives, reduce manual errors, and advance into senior infrastructure and cloud roles within modern IT organizations.
