Course Overview

The Microsoft Windows Server Hybrid Administrator (AZ-800 & AZ-801) course prepares IT professionals for the Microsoft Certified: Windows Server Hybrid Administrator Associate certification, covering both AZ-800 and AZ-801 exam objectives. Designed for administrators, identity and access administrators, and network engineers, this course equips learners with skills to manage Windows Server workloads across on-premises and cloud environments. With hybrid cloud adoption now standard for over 85% of enterprises, expertise in integrating Azure services with existing infrastructure is critical. Candidates should have several years of Windows Server experience and will focus on deploying Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS), managing hybrid networking, securing infrastructure, and enabling high availability and disaster recovery.

Students gain hands-on experience with core Microsoft technologies including Windows Admin Center, PowerShell, Azure Arc, Azure Policy, Azure Monitor, and Microsoft Defender for Cloud. Labs are conducted in the Azure Portal environment, where learners deploy and configure Azure virtual machines, implement failover clustering, and manage IaaS workloads. A key scenario involves using Azure Migrate and Storage Migration Service to lift-and-shift on-premises Hyper-V virtual machines to Azure, simulating real-world migration projects. Learners also configure DNS, implement secure hybrid networking with hub-spoke topologies, and automate deployments using ARM templates, ensuring practical readiness for enterprise deployment challenges.

This training fully prepares candidates for the Microsoft Certified: Windows Server Hybrid Administrator Associate credential, a globally recognized certification validating hybrid infrastructure mastery. Certified professionals report average salaries between $85,000 and $120,000, reflecting strong market demand. At Koenig Solutions, students benefit from Guaranteed-to-Run schedules, official Microsoft courseware, and optional 1-on-1 mentoring to ensure exam success. Earning this certification positions IT administrators for advanced roles in cloud infrastructure, security, and enterprise architecture, driving long-term career growth in the evolving hybrid IT landscape.
