The video/lecture was fine enough, but the quizzes and course materials were horrid. Many quizzes, the answers that were "right" are not even true. Other quizzes were put together in such a rush, that the question is repeated in one of the possible answers, but the worst is in Section two, Question five asks "Why is it necessary to create a backup global admin? Choose all that apply." Then you can choose "a,c" "b,c" or "a". That's it, no context. The worst part is, I pushed through this and cannot manage to get the course certificate I need for work because two modules will not complete (they are ones that you only download resource attachments from.

Un super curso. Bien enfocado en las mejores prácticas de seguridad para iniciar los trabajos de administración de Microsoft 365. La sección de Autopilot es un plus bien aprecdiado.

A course very well explained in detail and with resources to strengthen learning. 5.5 hours of course, but a lot of learning. I always recommend your courses because they are explained in detail, I will only make a repair for the update of the course, in some cases I felt lost in the menus.
By Daneen L Carroll on 8/16/2024
This was one of the best, most comprehensive, practical, and easy to follow courses that I have taken, since starting my coursework with Udemy. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who has an interest in systems administration and/or also wants overall general knowledge about the Microsoft operating systems. Great Job and Great Class! Thank you. This was a great well spent 5.5hours.

Hello, I like this course, but I have difficulty in section 6 for deploying apps. I couldn't convert the app to Intune. I don't know why? I follow the process without a problem, but in the end, no app converted
By John Moyer on 12/28/2022
This is a great course. I really liked the hands on learning. All the concepts were explained and demonstrated very well. Autopilot worked perfect in my test lab. I highly recommend this course.
