Students typically have more than one year of hands-on experience* with planning and maintaining SharePoint and two years experience with other core technologies on which SharePoint depends, including Windows Server 2012 R2 or later, Internet Information Services (IIS), Microsoft SQL Server 2014 or later, Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS), and networking infrastructure services. The minimally qualified candidate typically: Is an IT professional who plans, implements, and maintains a multi-server deployment of SharePoint 2016; Has a working knowledge of, and preferably hands-on experience, with SharePoint Online; Has broad familiarity with SharePoint workloads; Has experience with business continuity management, including data backup, restoration, and high availability; Has experience with authentication and security technologies; Has experience with Windows PowerShell.

Prerequisites

An ideal candidate for this course must have at least one year of experience with deploying and administering multiple SharePoint 2013 farms across a large enterprise. Because many customers have not upgraded from SharePoint 2010, a candidate can also have at least two years of experience with SharePoint 2010. However, they also must understand the differences between SharePoint 2010 and SharePoint 2013, particularly in terms of hybridization.
