Brief Introduction

Watch over my shoulder and learn how to install a server for a small business from start to finish.

Description

Course Description

There are small businesses everywhere using bad IT systems. Companies grow and their IT doesn’t grow with them. Small business owners are frustrated that there aren’t enough good IT people to come along and give them an IT system which is safe, secure and flexible.

At the heart of any good small business IT system should be a server. A server is the glue which holds everything together – files, folders, security and remote access.

Using my 18 years’ experience in IT, I will teach you everything you need to know about installing an IT system for a small business. We clarify a small business to be one with between 5-25 computers.

The course will not only teach you the theory behind everything, but you will also watch over my shoulder as I configure a real server for a small business.

Here is your opportunity to be an IT super hero!

In this course you will learn:

The exact hardware and software you need to buy for your customer.
The basics of server virtualisation and why your customer needs to be using it.
How to install Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials as a Virtual Host
How to configure and create a Virtual Server.
What anti-virus software you need to keep the server safe.
How to integrate your server with Microsoft Office 365.
How to create users and add computers to your new network.
All about backup and restore; how to backup your computers and your server.
We’ll configure a cloud backup using Microsoft Azure.
You’ll learn how to enable the server for remote access using an SSL certificate
How to monitor the health of the server so you can earn ongoing revenue as the IT guy!
Much much more!

When you’ve finished the course and learnt the skills, you will be able to confidently install a Microsoft Windows Server for a small business.
