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.

In this chapter, we have also discussed quite a bit about DirectAccess in order to bring you up to speed on this alternative method of automatically connecting your remote clients back to the datacenter. Now that you know there are two great connectivity platforms built into Windows Server 2019 for enabling your mobile workforce, which one is better?

You don't have to choose! You can run both of these technologies side by side, even on the same Remote Access server. Each technology has its pros and cons, and the ways that you use each, or both, will depend upon many variables. Your users, your client computers, and your organization...
