How VNode delivers this

Who this is for, and how we run it

VNode ITeS delivers Configure Windows Server Hybrid Advanced Services as an MCT-led Microsoft program for Administrator. Typical duration is 4 days (Virtual, On-site, or Hybrid). Labs follow production-shaped scenarios rather than slide-only walkthroughs. Certification prep maps to AZ-801T00 without turning the week into a dump of Learn modules. Private cohorts can shift emphasis by role mix, workspace or repo constraints, and rollout timing.

Audience Profile

Built for these roles

This four-day course is intended for Windows Server Hybrid Administrators who have experience working with Windows Server and want to extend the capabilities of their on-premises environments by combining on-premises and hybrid technologies. Windows Server Hybrid Administrators who already implement and manage on-premises core technologies want to secure and protect their environments, migrate virtual and physical workloads to Azure IaaS, enable a highly available, fully redundant environment, and perform monitoring and troubleshooting.
