Hi @Tavis-Gardner, and thanks for reaching out!

ITProTV tries to keep virtual labs associated with courses once they are added. Labs are still associated with some courses that have been retired to the Legacy section! We are aware that the existing labs are still useful for skill building even after the associated certification exams have been retired by the vendor.

Practice Labs has not yet announced plans for a MS-500 lab, or for AZ-305, but we will make note of your interest and share these as requests for consideration for future development with the Practice Labs crew!

You could use the lab environments for MD-100 and MD-101 or any other Microsoft/Azure labs to practice skills for the Enterprise Administrator Expert exam as you are not limited to following the offered lab exercises.

If you have more questions about lab availability, you can reach out via the chat bubble on the ITProTV site or email Member Services at support@itpro.tv.

@Adam-Gordon Thanks for the info will have a look and followup with any futher questions.

Thanks.

@Carlos-Bergante ,

That's a tough question to answer. The short answer is all of them. Because (almost) everything can be done with PowerShell, any questions are fair game on the exam.

The good news is you really don't need to memorize all of them. I would think about things that you are most likely to want to automate or write scripts for. Things like creating user accounts or adding printers. While there are a few cmdlets that deal with local policy, it's typically easier to use the Local Policy editor for that.

If I was going to make a short list of PowerShell cmdlets to be familiar with, it would include cmdlets that create or work with:

Local Users Get-Command *localuser* Printers Get-Command *printer* Services, primarily how to list services, stop and start services BitLocker Get-Command *bitlocker*

On the exam, Microsoft can ask about anything, but those are the more common cmdlets for this particular exam.

Thank you sir!

@Andrew-Staley , I hope all is well. I am glad that the MS-700 Teams Admin / Hands-on with Teams courses are proving to be helpful for you !!!

I spend ALOT of time discussing this exact topic with customers, and as you correctly point out, while there is no "right" way to apply a naming convention, other than what aligns with business process and policy, there are some considerations to be aware of.

The biggest issue/debate takes the form of ease of use/functional naming vs. security through obscurity.

What this comes down to is whether or not you want to name your infrastructure ( servers/desktops/devices/websites, etc...) in a plain and easily identifiable fashion ( I.E., MailServer1 ), OR, whether you want to use a totally randomized solution that DOES NOT imply or indicate in any way what the resource or site is designed or designated to do (I.E., PurpleUnicorn)

The issue/risk you are deciding to address here is what will happen when a hacker/bad actor gains entry into one or more of your systems and is looking to perform reconnaissance, in order to map out the network and figure out what target(s) to attack. The more information available to the bad actor initially, the easier it is to map out the network and to attack you BEFORE you figure out they are there and try and stop them.

If you are not too concerned about this issue, then use a naming convention that is simple to understand and follow, BUT, also one that allows for extensibility as you add resources over time.

The other major issue to consider is consistency. Regardless of the outcome of the discussion above, and which way you choose to go (random vs. exact description), you need to apply that convention consistently across the enterprise and stick to it. It will be very difficult from the inventory (asset) management/security/audit perspectives to have a half implemented sometimeish naming convention because it confuses things and makes it hard to have a complete understanding of what is happening, where, why, how, and to who or what.

If you have any additional questions, or just need help in general, please feel free to reach out directly as needed. My e-mail is: adam@itpro.tv

Good Luck !!!!

Adam

@Almothana-Alhamoud , I hope all is well. Currently there IS NOT a formal, supported and documented way to do this directly within Teams and/or the Teams Admin Center, according to Microsoft.

The ONLY currently supported mechanism is to delete the Public Team and recreate it as a Private Team, which is not a great solution, but what is available as of now.

UNOFFICIALY, there are 2 methods you can use... ( I DO NOT RECCOMEND #1 or #2, just simply informing you about options that exist !!!)

The first involves using SharePoint to modify permissions on the underlying document library that backs the Team:

View the MS Team in SharePoint.

In advanced sharing properties click "Stop Inheriting Permissions" on the parent folder of the desired Team.
Delete all listed users then re-add users you want directly.
Global administrators cannot be excluded and will show as "yourdomain" Owners.

Second would be to use a third party product such as AGAT software's channel manager for Microsoft Teams:

Good Luck !!!

Adam

@Mike-Alcasas ,

I hope all is well. The tool is something to be aware of, as it may be asked about, but overall, I would not spend too much time on it.

If you have any additional questions as you are preparing for the MS-700 exam, or just about Teams in general, please be in touch as needed; always glad to help out...

Good Luck!!

Cheers,

Adam

@Travis-Richards,

I looked in the Legacy category 3 times... I think our dev team is working on improved searchability but it's not there completely yet. Also, metadata tags somehow got removed from those courses, so that doesn't help either.

@Craig-Tubby ,

I hope all is well. The Address Book Policies can be a bit finicky.... If you are stuck in general, or need to go over anything moving forward, please be in touch as needed. My direct e-mail is: adam@itpro.tv

@Vj-Sriram ,

Sorry I missed this post.

ADMT is still the tool to use. It will help you migrate a domain from one forest to another.

@Michael-Marosz ,

I hope all is well. Please feel free to get in touch with me directly if you are still having the problem, and let's see if we can get you sorted out... My direct e-mail is: adam@itpro.tv

@Chris-Hoy ,

I hope all is well. The MS-500 course was ready to be released, but then Microsoft pushed out a significant update to the exam outline that is scheduled to go live on September 24th. We have shot all the new episodes to address those updates and the course is complete.

We are just going through our internal Q/A process prior to release to ensure ALL of the episode notes, descriptions and supporting materials are correct, and are added to the course so you have access to them.

That process has been delayed by about 4 days due to a scheduling issue on my side, and as a result, will finish up next week.

The course will then be in the library, and ready for you to use. It should be live by the end of September, in approximately 1 week.

If you have any questions in the meantime, please be in touch with me directly.... my e-mail is: adam@itpro.tv

Cheers,

@Zachary-Booth ,

I hope all is well. These two courses are on our product roadmap as we move into planning cycles for the remainder of this year and the first half of 2022.

No decision has been made yet specifically as to if and/or when we will be producing them, but they are in the queue along with ALOT of other Microsoft courses, and once we have a definitive plan, you will know.

If you have any questions in the meantime, please be in touch as needed. My direct e-mail is: adam@itpro.tv

@Kinetic-ICT-Solutions ,

I hope all is well. There has been a slight delay in our production schedule due to some unforeseen issues. The course is about 98% done. We have 1 more week of filming to finish up some recent updates that Microsoft has put out around the course that are slated to go live the week of September 24th.

Greg and I will be back in the studio the week of October 18th to finish those episodes up, and the course will then be live in our library before the end of October.

Hi @Waqkas-Ahmed ,

Here is one setting that might help.

Hi @Barinder-Singh ,

Thanks for being a member!

I don't see any problems with your script, so I would troubleshoot the other end. What I mean by that is look at the hosts with multiple network adapters.

I have noticed on my laptop for example, when there is a wired connection, the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi adapters have a status of Disconnected. They would be filtered out by your Where-Object statement.

Have you verified what $NICs contains?

@Simon Taplin One of our Microsoft Subject Matter Experts brought this course to our attention last week and I agree it looks interesting! We do not have space on our remaining 2021 roadmap to accommodate the 800/801, but we are eager to learn more about it as the December go-live approaches. Check back with us in Q1 of 2022 and we will have a better idea of if and where it might fall on the raodmap.

Hi Mr. Rodrick, I am studying your videos on this course and was wanting to see if Practice Labs or a practice test will be made available soon. Thank you for your response!
