With everything from a clean interface to flexibility in using Server Manager from almost anywhere, Windows Server 2019 has a lot to offer to administrators and IT professionals. This updated edition is designed to help you understand the essential concepts related to implementing and using this platform for your data center computing needs.

You'll begin by installing and managing Server 2019, before moving on to gaining clarity on the common points of confusion surrounding versions and licensing of this new product. Since centralized management, monitoring, and configuration of servers is key to an efficient IT department, you'll discover 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 from anywhere. Even though this book is more focused on Windows Server 2019 LTSC, you'll still be able to explore containers and Nano Server, which are more commonly related to the SAC channel. This additional coverage will give you insights into all aspects of using Windows Server in your environment. Finally, you'll explore various remote access technologies available in this operating system, and guidelines for virtualization of your data center with Hyper-V.

By the end of this book, you'll have the skills to implement and manage Windows efficiently.
