1 00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:05,830 Hey, in this demonstration, I want to show you some good online resources, 2 00:00:05,830 --> 00:00:09,870 all of which are recorded in your exercise files. First, as promised, I 3 00:00:09,870 --> 00:00:14,790 wanted to do a quick bird's‑eye scan here between AZ‑800: Administering 4 00:00:14,790 --> 00:00:19,250 Windows Server Hybrid Core Infrastructure and AZ‑801: Configuring 5 00:00:19,250 --> 00:00:23,130 Windows Server Hybrid Advanced. Best way for us to do that is scroll 6 00:00:23,130 --> 00:00:24,530 down under Skills measured. 7 00:00:24,530 --> 00:00:25,840 So the core exam, 8 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:29,760 as I mentioned, is covering Active Directory both on‑prem and 9 00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:33,880 in Azure. We're managing and maintaining Windows Servers. We're 10 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,230 working with Hyper‑V, containers, 11 00:00:36,230 --> 00:00:39,560 virtual machines. We're doing quite a bit of hybrid networking. 12 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,510 And then we're doing file server and storage. 13 00:00:42,510 --> 00:00:46,900 So really, it's core compute for Windows Server. 801, 14 00:00:46,900 --> 00:00:51,780 the advanced services, security, high availability, and disaster recovery, 15 00:00:51,780 --> 00:00:54,140 migration, monitoring, and troubleshooting. 16 00:00:54,140 --> 00:00:56,470 So it's more of a specialty skillset. 17 00:00:56,470 --> 00:00:59,850 Now as far as building out that lab environment, like I said before, 18 00:00:59,850 --> 00:01:03,510 you can head out to the Microsoft Evaluation Center, and if you scroll 19 00:01:03,510 --> 00:01:07,230 down here, we've got Windows Server, and you'll also want to grab Windows 20 00:01:07,230 --> 00:01:10,690 Admin Center. We're going to be using all of the Microsoft management 21 00:01:10,690 --> 00:01:13,440 tools, principally WAC as we go along. 22 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,900 In fact, that's specifically called out on the exam blueprint. 23 00:01:16,900 --> 00:01:20,950 But then here we have Windows Server 2022. You'll want to make sure you have 24 00:01:20,950 --> 00:01:25,170 to be signed in with your Microsoft account. You can grab an ISO image, 25 00:01:25,170 --> 00:01:29,830 180‑day eval, and you're off and running. Lastly, for Microsoft Azure, 26 00:01:29,830 --> 00:01:34,320 because the Hybrid Administrator certification is Azure as well, you can 27 00:01:34,320 --> 00:01:36,090 only redeem the free account once, 28 00:01:36,090 --> 00:01:40,250 but as you can see on azure.com you can try Azure for free, and this is 29 00:01:40,250 --> 00:01:45,010 going to give you, as this tells you, $200 USD or your currency equivalent 30 00:01:45,010 --> 00:01:49,790 of Azure credit that you can spend on any service. It will expire after 30 31 00:01:49,790 --> 00:01:51,520 days, or if you run out of credit, 32 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,390 it expires. There are some services and service tiers that are free 33 00:01:55,390 --> 00:01:59,180 for 12 months and others that are free always. Main thing I want you 34 00:01:59,180 --> 00:02:01,260 to see here is that when you redeem this, 35 00:02:01,260 --> 00:02:02,660 you can only do it once. 36 00:02:02,660 --> 00:02:05,560 You do have to provide a payment method, but that's 37 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,470 just for identity verification. 38 00:02:07,470 --> 00:02:09,780 The main thing I want you to know is that once you're 39 00:02:09,780 --> 00:02:11,260 rolling with your free account, 40 00:02:11,260 --> 00:02:15,630 let me come into the Azure portal here, portal.azure.com, and let me go to 41 00:02:15,630 --> 00:02:19,690 the Subscriptions blade and zoom in a little bit, your account will not 42 00:02:19,690 --> 00:02:23,380 roll over to a paid account. So you would come in here to your 43 00:02:23,380 --> 00:02:26,850 Subscriptions blade for your trial, and there'll be a button right here on 44 00:02:26,850 --> 00:02:31,140 the Overview blade where you would have to click that to convert your trial 45 00:02:31,140 --> 00:02:32,930 account to pay as you go. 46 00:02:32,930 --> 00:02:37,970 So there's not that worry and that threat that if you forget to turn a service 47 00:02:37,970 --> 00:02:45,000 off then Microsoft is just going to magically charge you. That's not going to happen, so that's not a concern.
