PowerShell
In this intermediate PowerShell course, you’ll go beyond the basics to build reliable scripts and automation tools. You’ll start by structuring your work with module manifests and argument completers, then organise functions and publish custom modules. You’ll practice navigating the file system with cmdlets and pipeline chain operators, parse text with regular expressions, and work with data from CSV and SQL. The course shows how to build cross‑platform scripts in Visual Studio Code, integrate with REST APIs, AWS Lambda, Azure services and other cloud tools, and automate administration tasks like Active Directory user and group management. Along the way you’ll explore object properties, error handling, debugging, unit testing with Pester, and writing user‑friendly CLI and GUI tools. By the end, you’ll be able to design, test and deploy PowerShell solutions that manage virtual machines, remoting sessions and infrastructure – making this training the easiest way to learn PowerShell.

Active Directory for Windows Server 2025
Many organizations still depend on Active Directory to control who can sign in, what devices can do, and how policy reaches every workstation and server. That is especially true where on-premises systems, air-gapped networks, or hybrid environments make cloud-only management unrealistic. When AD knowledge lives with one or two senior admins, configuration drift and recovery gaps follow. This 7.3-hour, beginner-level course gives Help Desk staff, junior administrators, and Team Leads a shared model for administering AD on Windows Server 2025. Across eight skills, your team learns to manage objects in Active Directory Administrative Center, design OUs that support Group Policy, apply GPOs to set or restrict user and computer behavior, and build working knowledge of sites, trusts, forests, backup, recovery, and modern AD security. For IT Directors and Training Managers, it works well as the next step after core Windows Server training. Pair it with related courses in a Playlist, add Virtual Labs for hands-on practice where available, and use Team Reporting to track progress as newer admins take on AD responsibilities.

Microsoft Cloud for Windows Server Admins
Windows Server teams are often asked to support Azure, Entra ID, and Intune before identity models, admin roles, and management boundaries are clearly defined. This course gives IT Directors a consistent way to bridge on-prem Windows Server and Active Directory skills to Microsoft cloud administration, so hybrid projects start from shared understanding rather than ad hoc exposure. Built for systems administrators and Team Leads, the course covers local vs. cloud decisions, core Azure services, Global Admin and user management, AD vs. Entra ID, connecting AD to Entra ID, device identity, Intune, Azure Arc, securing hybrid access with modern authentication and Conditional Access, and changing the source of authority to Entra ID. Instructor demonstrations, such as enrolling hybrid-joined devices in Intune through Group Policy, show how these pieces work in practice. Assign it before major identity, device, or Azure Arc initiatives so the team shares the same vocabulary and reduces identity-management risk. With 10 focused skills, it fits onboarding, a cloud-readiness push, or a short upskilling sprint, and CBT Nuggets Playlists and Team Reporting let Training Managers track completion across the rollout.

Networking with Windows Server 2025
Network gaps on a Windows Server team turn into avoidable escalations: misread subnet masks, DHCP scopes that hand out the wrong settings, DNS problems blamed on the server, and performance complaints nobody can quantify. This course gives help desk staff, junior admins, and infrastructure team members a shared networking foundation before they take on higher-risk Server 2025 work. Across nine skills and 8.4 hours, learners start with IPv4, IPv6, public and private addressing, and classful subnet masks. They then use the OSI and TCP/IP models to isolate problems, and work through common ports and protocols, DHCP and advanced DHCP settings, DNS and IPAM, NPS and VPN, and network load balancing. The course also covers cluster networking concepts and network monitoring with baselines, performance counters, and captures. For IT Directors and Training Managers, the course fits role-based onboarding into systems administration. Use CBT Nuggets Playlists to sequence it alongside related Windows Server training, and use Team Reporting to track completion across the team. Team Leads should plan follow-up practice on local addressing standards, server roles, and internal troubleshooting procedures so the concepts map to your environment.

Windows Server Administration
Windows Server still underpins identity, file access, virtualization, patching, and backup in most enterprise environments. When fundamentals vary from admin to admin, the result is inconsistent access control, loosely handled privileged accounts, storage misconfiguration, and slower incident response. This 20-skill, 18.1-hour course gives help desk technicians, junior administrators, and experienced IT practitioners a shared Windows Server baseline. Team members install Windows Server and complete post-installation setup. They manage users and groups with least privilege in mind, administer Active Directory and Group Policy, and plan storage for office, remote, and hybrid work, including SMB over QUIC. The course also covers Hyper-V, Windows Server 2025 updates, backup and restore, and performance monitoring with baselines and events. The course is broad rather than deep-specialist, so IT Directors and Team Leads can assign skills to match current duties. Identity admins can focus on Active Directory and Group Policy. Infrastructure admins can focus on storage, Hyper-V, updates, backup, and monitoring. CBT Nuggets Virtual Labs support hands-on practice, and Team Reporting gives Training Managers visibility into progress across assigned staff. The format suits short learning blocks that fit around operational work.
