This course equips you with the skills to deploy, manage, and secure Windows client operating systems. You'll learn to implement device lifecycle management using Microsoft Intune, configure security policies, manage identities with Microsoft Entra ID, and troubleshoot deployments. By the end, you'll be able to streamline provisioning, enforce compliance, and enhance security in enterprise environments.
The course begins with Windows client deployment, covering editions, hardware requirements, and installation methods. You'll explore tools like Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT), Autopilot, and provisioning packages to automate deployments. Migration strategies using the User State Migration Tool (USMT) and remote management solutions are also covered.
Next, you'll dive into identity and compliance management with Entra ID and Intune, implementing authentication, role-based access control (RBAC), and Conditional Access policies. You'll manage device enrollment, enforce policies, and monitor compliance.
Ideal for IT professionals and system administrators, this course requires basic Windows OS and Active Directory knowledge. Whether new to device management or experienced, you'll gain practical, real-world skills.
