Windows Server Administration Course in Doha, Qatar

The Windows Server Administration course in Doha, Qatar teaches the skills needed to run Microsoft Windows Server in a business network. Using current releases such as Windows Server 2022 and Windows Server 2025, participants learn to manage servers through Server Manager, Windows Admin Center and PowerShell, choose between Desktop Experience and Server Core, and operate core infrastructure roles including DNS, DHCP, file and storage services, and IIS. Security baselines, updates and monitoring are covered as part of normal operations.

The course is practical from start to finish. In a lab of virtual servers, learners configure DHCP scopes and DNS zones, publish file shares with the correct NTFS and share permissions, build Storage Spaces, schedule backups and read Event Viewer and Performance Monitor data to trace faults. PowerShell is used throughout so repetitive tasks can be scripted. The program can also be run in-house for an organization, reflecting its own server estate and operating procedures.
