This course was great in continuing to learn about Sys Admin roles and functionality. As my education continues, this course has been far better than any college course I have taken. The labs are great as well.

Very informational course and detailed course. The course includes demonstrations and example videos as well. I have been a Windows Administrator for a few years now but have mostly worked with Server 2012r2 and took this course after moving to a new job that primary utilizes Server 2019. I learned some new tricks and features that I didn't know existed, especially the Azure integration parts as I have mostly worked in the cloud with Amazon Web Services in the past.
