Server Network Infrastructure Configuration (SK0-005)

Welcome to the Server Network Infrastructure Configuration practice lab. In this module, you will be provided with the instructions and devices needed to develop your hands-on skills.

For a server or any other computer system to interact with other systems on the network, it needs to be properly configured to work on the network it is being joined to. Depending on the use case of the server, the system might be configured to use a static IP address. Certain applications that may be installed on the server could require that specific firewall ports be opened. These are just a couple of considerations that the server administrator might have to take into account to adjust the server’s network configuration to meet the needs of the business.

In this module, the configuration of network settings on Windows Server 2019 will be explored.
