This intermediate-level Configuring Windows Server Hybrid Advanced Services training covers the objectives in the AZ-801 exam, which is one of two exams required to earn the Windows Server Hybrid Administrator Associate certification.

The AZ-801 is the second exam you need to pass in order to earn the Windows Server Hybrid Administrator Associate certification, and prove that you know how to perform more advanced management and configuration tasks. The entire Windows Server Hybrid Administrator Associate certification is about server management and administration, but the AZ-801 covers less common tasks or more specialized responsibilities in security, high availability and disaster recovery.

For anyone who manages IT training, this Microsoft training can be used for AZ-801 exam prep, onboarding new systems administrators, individual or team training plans, or as a Microsoft reference resource.

• Securing Windows Server on-premises and hybrid infrastructures
• Implementing and managing high availability on Windows Servers

• Monitoring and troubleshooting environments running Windows Server

Who Should Take AZ-801 Training?

This Windows Server Hybrid Advanced Services training is considered associate-level Microsoft training, which means it was designed for systems administrators. This Windows Server skills course is valuable for new IT professionals with at least a year of experience with server administration tools and experienced systems administrators looking to validate their Microsoft skills.

New or aspiring systems administrators. If you’re trying to land your first job as a systems administrator, the AZ-801 is a great way to show that you’re ready to take on specialized tasks in server administration. Knowing how to migrate servers, for example, isn’t something you’ll need to do on a daily basis, but this AZ-801 training makes sure you know more advanced aspects of managing and administering Windows Server servers in a hybrid environment.

Experienced systems administrators. If you’ve been working as a systems administrator for several years already, the AZ-801 is how you demonstrate all that specialized knowledge you’ve picked up over the years. There are lots of server management tasks it’s assumed you know how to do, but by taking this Windows Server Hybrid Administrator Associate training, you’re proving that you know how to manage failover clustering, for instance, or how to protect virtual machines with Hyper-V replicas.
