SharePoint Server is the premier on-premises collaboration and business productivity platform. As a content management and web services platform, it enables users to create, publish, and discover content and applications, integrate with business systems, and create products.

Deploying SharePoint Server Hybrid: Exam MS-301 Guide, as the title implies, is designed to help you in understanding the platform, its tools, and its configuration capabilities in a way that will help you pass the MS-301 exam. Microsoft has designed the MS-301 exam to concentrate on specific parts of the SharePoint Server platform:

• Designing a SharePoint Server environment
• Identity and authentication
• Understanding service and web applications
• Connecting to external data systems
• Migrating to SharePoint Online

This book will help you understand the basics of the SharePoint platform and its architecture and terminology, along with the identity and authentication mechanisms to provide access to resources. It will also guide you step by step through basic and advanced configurations for SharePoint Server, OneDrive, SharePoint hybrid connectivity, and Business Connectivity Services.

By the end of this book, you'll not only be equipped to pass the exam but also to confidently and successfully deploy and administer the collaboration platform components.
