Book Description

Written by a 10-time Microsoft MVP award winner with over 20 years of IT experience, Mastering Windows Server 2022 is a practical guide to deploying, securing, and optimizing your server infrastructure. Whether you’re new to server administration or an experienced professional sharpening your skills, this book is designed to be referenced on a regular basis instead of gathering dust on your shelf.

Updated for Windows Server 2022, this book covers versions, licensing models, and the latest features while guiding you through single-pane-of-glass administration with tools like Server Manager, PowerShell, and Windows Admin Center. While the primary focus is on Windows Server 2022 LTSC, we also explore SAC server releases, Containers, Nano Server, and OS release cadences.

You’ll gain hands-on expertise in remote access technologies, PKI and certificate management, virtualization with Hyper-V, and deploying a Remote Desktop Services farm. Plus, you’ll master Server Core, built-in redundancy, and troubleshooting techniques – all while reinforcing core infrastructure skills like Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, and Group Policy.

• Manage your servers with Server Manager, PowerShell, and Windows Admin Center
• Secure your network and data with modern technologies in Windows Server 2022
