Throughout this course, you will perform ALL the following tasks:

  • Deploy an Azure resource group

  • Configure the address space of the virtual network

  • Provision a subnet and configure the address range of the subnet

  • Create virtual machine data disks

This was a good high level course.....the only reason I didn't give 5-stars was that when I added my 2nd DC, the credentials wouldn't work. I even rebuilt the 2 VMs from scratch and still had the same problem. A troubleshooting section would be very helpful here as I still have not overcome this problem. Other than that, nice, brief, direct to the point tutorial.

By Greg Porterfield on 8/29/2024

Short, sweet, and to the point. Exactly what I needed.

By Charles D Castelo on 2/5/2024

Enjoy taking the labs, very interactive!!

By Ali Mitha on 4/27/2023

Very good and easy to follow, well thought out. Would love a course from him for a professional production environment instead of non production. Thanks. Best Regards.

Course is short and precise, few domain commands missing. Azure static IP assign to Domain need to address bit more.

By Alex Rodriguez on 7/21/2022

Great material nice to go over building DC's and server role implentation.

By Stephen M on 6/30/2021

This course does exactly as it says on the tin. The reason I haven't given it five stars is I would have expected the lab to be set up with security by default. If people are going to learn, they should learn what will be expected in real life and not get used to bad practice right out of the gate.

By Kevin Burrowes on 12/2/2020
