Frequently Asked Questions
What is Windows 365?
Windows 365 is Microsoft’s Cloud PC service that streams a full Windows desktop from Azure to any device. Unlike traditional VDI, it offers fixed per-user pricing and simplified management through Microsoft Intune.
How much does the training cost?
$1,250 USD per student, including all course materials, lab environment access, scripts, templates, and certificate of completion.
Is this course good for MD-102 exam prep?
Yes. The course covers Intune and endpoint management topics that align with the MD-102: Endpoint Administrator exam objectives with hands-on experience.
What’s the difference between Windows 365 and Azure Virtual Desktop?
Windows 365 is a fixed-price SaaS offering with simplified management. Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) is a consumption-based IaaS solution with more customization. This course focuses on Windows 365 but addresses the knowledge gap for AVD professionals.
Do I need prior Windows 365 experience?
No. The course starts with architecture fundamentals and builds to advanced topics. Basic Windows administration familiarity is helpful but not required.
Does this course cover Business vs Enterprise editions?
Yes. You’ll learn the differences β Business for smaller organizations via Microsoft 365 admin center, Enterprise with Azure Network Connection, custom images, and Intune integration. Labs focus on Enterprise scenarios but concepts apply to both.
What if I can’t attend all four days?
Recordings and materials will be provided, but live attendance is strongly recommended for the hands-on labs.
How many students per session?
Each session is limited to 10 students for personalized attention and interactive Q&A during labs.
