Introduction:

Windows Server environments constitute a foundational pillar of enterprise information systems, underpinning the continuity, integration, and controlled availability of critical digital services. Their administration is inherently connected to institutional governance structures, long-term operational sustainability, and disciplined infrastructure oversight. This training program presents a structured and analytical perspective on Windows Server architectural models, configuration domains, and administrative governance frameworks within organizational contexts. It systematically frames operational risk exposure, security posture, and performance governance to strengthen resilience, continuity, and organizational effectiveness.

Program Objectives:

By the end of this program, participants will be able to:

• Explore Windows Server architectural models within enterprise information system environments.

• Examine configuration domains and administrative structures governing Windows Server ecosystems.

• Evaluate governance frameworks supporting security, access control, and infrastructure integrity.

• Address performance management and operational sustainability mechanisms within server environments.

• Interpret troubleshooting and maintenance methodologies in relation to continuity and risk management objectives.

Targeted Audience:

• System and Infrastructure Administrators

• IT Governance and Operations Professionals

• Network and Server Engineers
