Who This Course Is For

This Hyper-V Tutorial training is considered professional-level Microsoft training, which means it was designed for systems administrators. This Microsoft Windows Server skills course is designed for systems administrators with three to five years of experience with virtual machines.

Course Curriculum

For IT leaders

What IT leaders need to know before assigning this course

Virtualization gaps can turn into overprovisioned hardware, inconsistent VM builds, and slower recovery when Windows Server workloads fail. IT Directors can assign this intermediate Hyper-V course to systems administrators or server administrators who already have 3–5 years of VM experience and need a practical refresh on Microsoft Hyper-V operations. The course runs about 4 hours and 41 minutes per learner, making it realistic for onboarding new administrators or standardizing skills across a small infrastructure team.

Teams should treat this training as an operational readiness course: learners review Hyper-V Enhanced Session, PowerShell management, nesting, memory and CPU controls, checkpoints, Replica, clustering, VHD(X) files, adapters, teaming, and switches before making production changes. CBT Nuggets Playlists can help Training Managers assign it by role, while Team Reporting helps IT leaders confirm completion across the team.

Team Impact

How this training helps your team succeed

IT teams complete this Hyper-V training to improve day-to-day Windows Server virtualization operations and reduce risk around VM performance, connectivity, and recovery.

  • Improve resource use: Administrators review Hyper-V memory, CPU groups, hypervisor scheduling, resource groups, and hardware assignment topics that support more consistent VM performance.
  • Support recovery planning: Hyper-V Replica, clustering, and checkpoints help teams understand options for protecting workloads and recovering from failures.
  • Standardize VM connectivity: Training covers network adapters, teaming, and virtual switches so teams can align how VMs connect across hosts.
  • Manage remotely and efficiently: Enhanced Session, PowerShell, PowerShell Direct, and nesting topics help administrators manage Hyper-V environments without relying only on local console access.
