Simple as that. 10 00:00:35,140 --> 00:00:39,440 This course is entitled Manage Storage and File Services, and it's 11 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:43,870 created to support Microsoft certification exam AZ‑800. 12 00:00:43,870 --> 00:00:46,490 This is one of two exams required to earn your Windows 13 00:00:46,490 --> 00:00:48,940 Server Hybrid Administrator certification. 14 00:00:48,940 --> 00:00:52,710 We actually have two of the five modules devoted to Azure File Sync. 15 00:00:52,710 --> 00:00:55,660 We're doing Configure File Sync now. The next module 16 00:00:55,660 --> 00:00:57,640 is called Manage Azure File Sync. 17 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:01,840 We then turn our attention to Windows Server File Shares, configuring Windows 18 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:06,040 Server Storage, and then managing that storage subsystem. 19 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,790 If you're interested in earning the Windows Server Hybrid 20 00:01:08,790 --> 00:01:11,110 Administrator Associate credential, like I said, 21 00:01:11,110 --> 00:01:15,310 there's two exams. The one we're covering in this learning path is AZ‑800 22 00:01:15,310 --> 00:01:18,200 Administering Windows Server Hybrid Core Infrastructure. 23 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,140 The other exam is AZ‑801, that's Configuring Windows 24 00:01:21,140 --> 00:01:23,020 Server Hybrid Advanced Services. 25 00:01:23,020 --> 00:01:26,040 I've covered both exams in the Pluralsight library. It 26 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:27,920 doesn't matter which one you pass first, 27 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,480 but when you clear the second of those two exams, 28 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,890 you'll earn your Windows Server Hybrid Administrator Associate 29 00:01:33,890 --> 00:01:37,670 certification, and in the Microsoft certification ecosystem, the 30 00:01:37,670 --> 00:01:41,780 associate expert and specialty exams have a one‑year validity, and you 31 00:01:41,780 --> 00:01:45,540 can renew your badge for another year by taking a free online 32 00:01:45,540 --> 00:01:48,590 assessment at Microsoft Learn. As always, 33 00:01:48,590 --> 00:01:51,500 I want to make sure you're situated with the exercise files. 34 00:01:51,500 --> 00:01:55,040 This is where you can get a copy of the slide deck and any scripts 35 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,910 and supplemental resources I develop for you. 36 00:01:57,910 --> 00:02:01,080 The catch here is that you have to be in the Pluralsight web player, 37 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,170 not the mobile app. In the web player, 38 00:02:03,170 --> 00:02:07,110 you'll want to go over to the Exercise files tab and then click Download 39 00:02:07,110 --> 00:02:11,880 exercise files. That will bring down all of the module assets as a single 40 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:16,570 .zip. You can unpack that .zip archive, and you'll find a PDF of the slide 41 00:02:16,570 --> 00:02:21,210 deck and a subfolder that contains, as I mentioned, various PowerShell scripts, 42 00:02:21,210 --> 00:02:25,040 whatever it is that I'm using to demo, I'll share my resources with you. 43 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,400 But also importantly, I include a links list that brings you 44 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:32,270 out to relevant Microsoft docs and Pluralsight resources, just 45 00:02:32,270 --> 00:02:33,740 to save you a little bit of time. 46 00:02:33,740 --> 00:02:37,000 I hope you like that. Let's get to the content, shall we?
