About This Course
This course explores three core pillars of Microsoft 365 enterprise administration: managing the Microsoft 365 tenant and services, overseeing Office 365 operations, and handling Microsoft 365 identity management. In the section dedicated to Microsoft 365 tenant and service management, you will review all essential components that require planning when architecting your Microsoft 365 tenant. After completing the planning phase, you will learn to configure your tenant, covering organizational profiles, subscription options, component services, user accounts, licenses, and security groups. You will also master tenant management, which involves configuring tenant roles and overseeing tenant health and service status. With the tenant established, you will delve into the key aspects of Office 365 management. This starts with an overview of Office 365 product capabilities, including Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, Microsoft Teams, the Microsoft Power Platform, supplementary product resources, and device management. You will then move on to configuring Office 365, with a strong emphasis on setting up Office client connectivity. Furthermore, you will explore the management of Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise deployments (previously known as Office 365 ProPlus), ranging from user-initiated client installations to centralized deployment strategies. This segment concludes with instructions on configuring Office Telemetry and Microsoft Analytics. The course finishes with a detailed examination of Microsoft 365 identity synchronization, focusing heavily on Azure Active Directory Connect. You will learn to plan and implement Azure AD Connect, manage synchronized identities, and enforce password management in Microsoft 365 using multi-factor authentication and self-service password reset. This final section wraps up by thoroughly covering the implementation of application and external access. You will discover how to add and manage applications in Azure Active Directory, including the setup of multi-tenant applications. You will also examine the configuration of Azure AD Application Proxy, detailing connector installation and registration, as well as publishing on-premises applications for remote access. Lastly, you will investigate designing and managing external access solutions, including licensing guidance for Azure AD B2B collaboration, creating collaborative users, and troubleshooting B2B collaboration scenarios.
