Kevin Brown
I have been in the technology field for more than 20 years. I have been a high performing Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT) since 2000 and a Cisco Certified Systems Instructor since 2006. I began my career in telecommunications more than 20 years ago. Since then I have worked as a Systems Admin, Network Admin, System integrator, Solutions Architect, and CTO. My courses are not presentations that rely on slides to explain concepts. My goal is to demonstrate every concept covered, instead of using slides that cover theory, we will use the interface to configure every setting that is discussed. In my view, if you do not know how to complete a task that a course covered, that course was not beneficial. I will make sure that you know how to complete each task and the various configurations for those tasks.

This was a good addition to other courses of the topic, and is likely to be useful for those interested in Windows security. What I did not understand was why my comment regarding wrong information in one video was deleted, not once but twice.
By Chung Lee on 2/22/2022
This was the course I was looking for that gives a balance of practical information without being too granular. The instructor illustrated his expertise with the Windows Server 2016. He was moving at a pace that is easy for me to follow. I would take another course from this instructor in the future.
By Hussein Ssozi on 1/26/2021
Very good and well explained course. It also helps expand on other Active Directory courses offered by the instructor. I would definately recomend.
By Ilias Ahmed on 7/19/2020
The course started well.... but as it progress went to some of the basics of windows server OS... Some practical approach would have been better...
By Howard Tempro on 5/21/2020
great as a refresher course and to confirm the standard for performing administrative tasks in the 2016 platform. This covers enough topics with such great detail that it is a course that should be reviewed more than once.
By Lee Holland on 1/21/2020
This course is very detailed on how and why each action can and should be taken. It takes you inside Windows in a way that helps you guide you through the theory and the process of creating a basic secure environment.
By Michael Ntamoulakis on 8/10/2019
Great and very thorough course regarding windows server security. Kevin Brown is an excellent instructor, very engaging and knows the field very good. Recommended (as all Kevin Brown courses).

Thank You for a Wealth of Information, explained in a very easy to follow course ( Well Taught), Instructor Kevin Brown is The Best in Teaching these Windows Server 2016 Courses here on Udemy.
By John Watson on 1/29/2019
I like the prospect of having a lab and actual slides that he is interacting with and explaining. Too many courses here are essentially death by PowerPoint and this is not one of them. Great course, is there more?
By Michelle Jensen on 10/31/2018
All of Kevin's courses are great! If you want to know about Windows Server 2016, sign up for his courses. His explanations are thorough, in depth but easy to understand. He has a very conversational tone when speaking during the videos which make them even easier to understand.
