Master Class: Windows 11 Secure Deployment (W11SD)

 

Course Overview

In this power workshop you will learn everything you need to know to deploy Windows 11 quickly and efficiently in your environment.

This ranges from full-touch to lite-touch to zero-touch - depending on the participants' wishes. The different versions and the LTSB version in particular are examined in detail. In addition, the configuration via MDT and ADK is examined in detail and a basic configuration is provided in advance. This is followed by the management of the client system via group policies and the implementation of central specifications, including data protection. (Disabling telemetry data, secure data protection configuration, etc.) Following on from this, the topic of security is examined centrally and in depth: From Pass-the-Hash to Credential-Guard to Device-Guard and Remote-Credential-Guard, just to mention a few topics.

Who should attend

This course is aimed at experienced system administrators, consultants and Active Directory designers. After this seminar, you will be able to roll out Windows 11 in your company and administer it professionally.

Prerequisites

Participants should have at least five years of experience with Active Directory and client systems.

The aim of this five-day seminar is to familiarize you with Windows 11 so that you can juggle with the new operating system and implement it successfully in your environment.

Above all, the topic of deploying Windows 11 as a highly secure client is one of the central approaches here. And: Are you or your customers unable or unwilling to purchase the LTSB/LTSC version? We will show you how to configure a Windows 11 Pro version with 30 group policies so that it corresponds to an LTSB version. And: You can take these group policies (among other things) with you as an export after this course and use them directly.

This course has been developed since the beta of Windows and is constantly evolving to meet the latest versions of Windows 11. In particular, the experiences of our customers are always incorporated into this course.
