By: Jordan Krause

Overview of this book

Written by a nine-time Microsoft MVP award winner with over twenty years of experience working in IT, Mastering Windows Server 2019 is a hands-on guide for anyone looking to keep their skills up to date. This third edition comes with four new chapters to provide you with the in-depth knowledge needed to implement and use this operating system in any environment. Centralized management, monitoring, and configuration of servers are key to an efficient IT department. This book delves into multiple methods for quickly managing all your servers from a ‘single pane of glass' — the ability to monitor different servers across a network using Server Manager, Windows PowerShell, and even Windows Admin Center — from anywhere. Despite the focus on Windows Server 2019 LTSC, you will still explore containers and Nano Server, which are more related to the SAC of server releases. This additional coverage will give you insights into all aspects of using Windows Server 2019 in your environment. This book covers a range of remote access technologies available in this operating system, teaches management of PKI and certificates, and empowers you to virtualize your datacenter with Hyper-V. You will also discover the tools and software included with Windows Server 2019 that assist in the inevitable troubleshooting of problems that crop up.

If all of your infrastructure is sitting inside one building, it is easy enough to simply use the DNS and DHCP management tools from any server or workstation in your network and have full control over both of those technologies. But how about larger and enterprise-class networks that span many locations, each with its own sets of DNS and DHCP servers? IPAM is useful for gathering up all of those differing namespaces and scopes and providing access to them from one interface.

Let's install the IPAM feature in my lab so you have an idea of where to start, should you choose to employ this feature. Begin by choosing a server upon which you want to install IPAM, and simply walk through...
