Preface

Windows Server 2022 is Microsoft’s latest operating system for servers as part of the Windows NT family of operating systems, based on the Windows 10 platform.

With Windows Server 2022, Microsoft is continuing to enhance and advance its OS for servers by making it robust, high-performing, secure, and cloud-enabled. The vision was to bring the cloud to everyone by providing platforms and tools to help build IT solutions that drive success. In addition, with Windows Server 2022, Microsoft has consolidated its status in the world of cloud service providers by competing head to head with the Amazon Web Services cloud (AWS cloud). For this reason, there has been no better time to become a cloud-focused system administrator.

This book begins with the computer network essentials and then moves on to the world of Windows Server 2022. It covers all aspects of the administration-level tasks and activities required to become an expert in Microsoft Windows Server 2022. It begins by introducing Windows Server and Windows Server 2022 and then gradually builds up its content with the installation and deployment of Windows Server 2022 in Chapter 3, Installing Windows Server 2022. After becoming familiar with Windows Server’s 2022 post-installation tasks in Chapter 4, Post-Installation Tasks in Windows Server 2022, you will start functionalizing Windows Server 2022 by adding roles. Doing so, you will find out the following:

What is a domain controller?
How to set up a file and print server
Configuring a web server and hosting a website
Virtualizing your IT environment
Automating Windows Server 2022 deployment
Centrally managing Windows Server 2022 updates

With the help of multiple hands-on exercises, you will gain an immense understanding of Windows Server 2022, which will help you solve complex tasks quickly. At the end of the book, you will be exposed to maintenance and troubleshooting tasks where, with the help of best practices, you will manage Windows Server 2022 with ease.

At its heart, this book aims to teach you the system administrator’s craft. Hence, to validate your skills and the knowledge gained from this book, each chapter ends with a concept summary and questionnaire to help you take full advantage of the content. By the end of this book, you will have enough knowledge to administer and manage Windows Server 2022 with ease and be able to get informed and learn about Microsoft certifications just in case you set yourself a challenge such as passing an exam.
