Mastering Windows Server 2025: Complete Beginner to Advanced | Udemy

Welcome to the most comprehensive Windows Server 2025 course, designed for beginners, IT students, system administrators, and aspiring server engineers.
This course takes you step-by-step from the basics to advanced enterprise deployment — using real-world demos, clear explanations, and fully guided labs.

We’ll begin with what’s new in Windows Server 2025, covering the latest security, storage, and virtualization enhancements. You’ll learn about Editions & Licensing, System Requirements, and all Installation Methods — including Desktop Experience, Server Core, and Nano Server — followed by essential post-installation tasks.

Next, we’ll dive into Identity and Access Management with Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS). You’ll learn to create and manage users, groups, organizational units, and group policies, giving you complete control over your server environment.

From there, we move into Virtualization with Hyper-V, one of the most robust and scalable hypervisors in the industry. You’ll master virtual machine creation, network configuration, checkpoints, nested virtualization, and performance tuning.
We’ll also cover Live Migration and introduce you to Hyper-V Replica — enabling disaster recovery by replicating VMs between hosts or clusters with minimal downtime.

You’ll then explore Shared Storage, Failover Clustering, and Storage Spaces Direct (S2D), building highly available and resilient infrastructures suitable for production workloads.

What makes this course different is the hands-on approach: every concept is backed by practical demonstrations, step-by-step configurations, and expert tips drawn from over 15 years of industry experience.

By the end of this course, you’ll have the confidence and skills to deploy, configure, and manage enterprise-grade Windows Server 2025 environments — whether you’re working in a home lab, a corporate data center, or a hybrid cloud setup.
