Windows Server Certification Training with Koenig Solutions

Course Overview

What is Windows Server?

Windows Server is Microsoft's enterprise server operating system designed to manage infrastructure, applications, and workloads across on-premises, hybrid, and cloud environments. It provides a secure, scalable platform for running business-critical services and integrates deeply with Microsoft’s ecosystem of enterprise tools. Core components include Windows Server itself in editions such as Standard and Datacenter, Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) for identity and access management, Hyper-V for virtualization, Failover Clustering for high availability, Storage Spaces Direct for software-defined storage, Remote Desktop Services (RDS) for virtual desktop infrastructure, and Windows Admin Center for unified management. Additional capabilities like Azure Arc integration, Secured-core server, and Containers support modern hybrid and cloud-native deployments. IT professionals responsible for infrastructure management, system administration, identity governance, and hybrid cloud operations benefit from Windows Server’s reliability, security, and seamless integration with enterprise workloads.

Everything you need to know about Windows Server certification training with Koenig Solutions.

Windows Server is Microsoft's enterprise server platform that enables organizations to run and secure applications, services, and workloads across on-premises, hybrid, and cloud environments. It provides the foundation for secure, scalable computing with core components including Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS), Hyper-V virtualization, Windows Admin Center, and support for hybrid cloud integration via Azure Arc. The platform supports deployment options like Server Core and Server with Desktop Experience, and is available in Standard and Datacenter editions.
Windows Server training is designed for IT professionals with several years of experience managing Windows environments, including systems administrators, network engineers, security engineers, and support engineers. It serves intermediate-level learners responsible for deploying, managing, and securing Windows Server workloads in on-premises, hybrid, and cloud infrastructures. The courses prepare individuals for roles such as Windows Server Administrator, Hybrid Cloud Administrator, and Identity and Access Administrator.
Learners should have hands-on experience with Windows client operating systems and foundational knowledge of networking, security, and virtualization concepts. Prior exposure to Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS), DNS, DHCP, and PowerShell is strongly recommended. For advanced hybrid courses like AZ-800 and AZ-801, familiarity with Azure services such as Azure Arc, Azure Monitor, and Microsoft Defender for Cloud is essential to fully benefit from the training.
Windows Server training prepares candidates for the Microsoft Certified: Windows Server Administrator Associate certification, which validates skills in deploying, managing, and securing Windows Server workloads across hybrid environments. The certification path currently includes exams AZ-800 and AZ-801, transitioning to a single exam, AZ-802, by September 2026. The curriculum covers identity, security, compute, networking, storage, and monitoring using technologies like AD DS, Hyper-V, and Azure Arc.
The AZ-802 exam, which leads to the Microsoft Certified: Windows Server Administrator Associate, consists of approximately 40–60 questions and has a passing score of 700 on a scaled scoring system. The exam duration is 120 minutes and includes multiple-choice, case study, and interactive question types. Beta versions of the exam are not scored immediately due to data collection for question validation.
Windows Server training typically runs for 32 to 40 hours, delivered over 4 to 5 days. Koenig Solutions offers live online 1-on-1, public instructor-led, classroom, and self-paced flexi-start formats, all available as Guaranteed-to-Run (GTR) sessions. The training is accessible globally in multiple languages and supports flexible scheduling to accommodate different time zones and professional commitments.
