Microsoft continues to improve on its server operating system with its release of Windows Server 2019. Although Windows Server 2019 doesnt introduce any huge sweeping changes, it offers some great new features, simplifies some administrative tasks, and is, overall, a very polished version of Windows Server.

Security features have been improved upon that allow you to protect your users accounts and your organizations devices, and staples like drive encryption with BitLocker Drive Encryption are still a tried-and-true part of the operating system. Shielded virtual machines (VMs) have also gotten some improvements, including the ability to run Linux!

Changes have also been made to make automation simpler. This includes improvements to Microsofts virtualization software and capabilities, and support for orchestration and automation tools. This has made Windows Server 2019 a better operating system for system administrators who need to deploy systems quickly and for developers who need to test their workloads against stable, production-like systems.

Windows Server 2019 & PowerShell All-in-One For Dummies provides something for everyone from the junior system administrator just getting his start, to the seasoned system administrator looking to improve her skills.

I try to cover as many of the everyday topics that you would need to know as a system administrator and explain things that are outside of your daily work. My goal with this book is to help you understand not just the what and the how, but also the why.

This isnt the kind of book that you pick up and read from start to finish, and its probably not the kind of book youll read on the beach. Instead, this book is a reference the kind of book you can pick up, turn to just about any page, and start reading. Its divided into eight minibooks, each covering a specific aspect of working with Windows Server 2019 or PowerShell.

You dont have to memorize anything in this book. Pick it up when you need to know something. After you find what youre looking for, put it down and get on with your life.
