Mailbox downtime is one of the more visible failures in enterprise IT, and Database Availability Groups exist to prevent it. This course covers DAG administration through PowerShell, from creation and adding mailbox servers through network settings, mailbox copies, and activating database copies when failover is needed.

This Course Offers

• Creating a Database Availability Group and understanding how it delivers mailbox high availability
• Adding mailbox servers to a DAG, so the group has the members required for resilience
• Configuring DAG network settings, which affects replication traffic and failover behaviour
• Adding mailbox copies to a DAG, giving databases redundant copies across servers
• Activating mailbox database copies, covering the switchover process and PowerShell key concepts throughout

Why We Love This Course

1. It targets administrators already familiar with Exchange, so it moves at a professional pace.
2. PowerShell is used throughout, so the tasks are scriptable rather than GUI dependent.
3. Activation and failover are covered, which is the part that matters when something actually goes wrong.
4. At one hour across seven lessons, it is a focused module you can apply directly in an enterprise environment.

Mailbox outages affect everyone at once, and the admins who can configure and activate DAG copies properly are the ones who restore service quickly. Do you want to find out how failover works during an incident, or beforehand? Enrollment is open, and Exchange administration familiarity is expected.
