Course overview
In this power workshop you will learn everything you need to know to deploy Windows 11 in your environment quickly and purposefully.
It goes from full-touch to lite-touch to zero-touch – according to the wishes of the participants. The different versions and in particular the LTSB version are examined in detail. In addition, the configuration via MDT and ADK is examined in detail and a basic configuration is provided in advance. This is followed by the management of the client system via group policies to enforce central specifications, including data protection. (Disabling telemetry data, secure data protection configuration, etc.). Following on from this, the topic of security is examined centrally and in depth: from pass-the-hash and credential guard to device guard and remote credential guard, to mention just a few topics.
Target group
This course is aimed at experienced system administrators, consultants and Active Directory designers. After this seminar, you will be able to roll out Windows 10 in your company and administer it professionally.
Prerequisites
Participants should have at least five years’ experience with Active Directory and client systems.
Course objective
The aim of this five-day seminar is to familiarize you with Windows 11 so that you can “juggle” with the new operating system and successfully implement this new operating system in your environment.
Above all, the topic of deploying Windows 11 as a highly secure client is one of the central approaches here. And: Are you or your customers unable or unwilling to purchase the LTSB/LTSC version? We will show you how to configure a Windows 11 Pro version with 30 group policies so that it corresponds to an LTSB version. And: You can take these group policies (among other things) with you as an export after this course and use them directly.
This course has been developed since the beta version of Windows and is constantly being further developed to correspond to the current versions of Windows 11. In particular, the experiences of our customers are always incorporated into this course.
