Just follow the course without doubting the presenter. Reading a bit of basics(only 1%) will help you fly through the entire course. Pretty Awesome presenter with a NOTHING-TO-HIDE-APPROACH. Excellent for beginners!

By Gabriela Sielecka on 6/4/2020

A great course. I definitely recommend it! The lecturer in a very clear and interesting way tells from the basics the principles of operation and capabilities of Windows Server 2016. He also shows from the basics how to create your own laboratory to be able to learn everything in practice.

Hello everyone! This course is really good for the beginners. This course can help you to obtain real experience for server. However I finished the (NE) window server at local training center, it's not covered for me. So I would like to recommend you to attend.

By Jordan Janus on 4/12/2019

Everything is really interesting. I learnt a lot ! The transcription however is not accurate at all.

By Rene Cusson on 1/21/2019

I enjoyed this course. What I liked is that Marious keeps recording even when there is a problem. :-) It's good to see actual trouble shooting. There is a lot of tips and tricks that he teaches. I enjoyed the cmd line ones. Overall, I think someone that is new to Windows Server 2016 will get a lot out of this course.

By Valery Karyakin on 10/31/2018

The delivery of this course by Marious is superb! All explanations are given, using knowledgeable, confident, unobtrusive voice. All to the point, just the information that I need. Videos are very good quality and I can download (!) them to my desktop, using a Firefox plugin, for watching offline. Many thanks!

By ADELEKE OGUNDEMUREN on 10/18/2018

This is a brilliant resource. The Instructor is brilliant at explaining stuffs. He makes Windows Server generally interesting and attractive to want to learn.
