Don't let this gap widen

Why this program matters

  • Without this upskilling, your team accumulates a technological gap that translates directly into productivity loss.

  • Organizations that don't train their talents on key topics see their competitiveness drop.

  • Every quarter without training is a gap widening with competitors who invest.

  • The cost of inaction quickly exceeds that of well-targeted training.

Windows Server Migration curriculum: 5 modules over 5 days

Module 1 : Server and role inventory (PowerShell, Active Directory)

Perform a complete inventory of end-of-support servers on a realistic lab. Use PowerShell to extract roles, services and applications. Identify orphaned accounts and accumulated policies. Analyze dependencies between servers and critical services. Deliverables: inventory report and risk mapping.

Module 2 : Migration strategy selection (GPO, PowerShell)

Detailed comparison between in-place upgrade and clean installation with role transfer. Evaluate costs, risks and impacts on existing GPOs. Design migration scenarios adapted to the actual environment. Hands-on exercises on lab with planned rollback. Deliverables: decision matrix and migration plan.

Module 3 : Infrastructure role migration (PowerShell, Active Directory)

Progressive deployment of FSMO roles and critical services without interruption. PowerShell scripts to automate transfer and validation. GPO management during cutover. Service continuity tests and replication verification. Deliverables: migration scripts and validation report.

Module 4 : Unsupported application handling (PowerShell)

Analyze applications whose publisher does not support the target system. Workarounds and compatibility updates via PowerShell. Isolation of residual servers and reinforcement of security measures. Real-world cases on lab with legacy objects. Deliverables: treatment plan and secure configuration.

Module 5 : Residual risk reduction and rollback (GPO, PowerShell)

Implement strategies for servers that cannot be migrated in time. Optimize GPOs and post-migration monitoring scripts. Full rollback tests and procedure documentation. Final review of deliverables and operational adjustments. Deliverables: risk reduction plan and complete documentation.

Our method

How Learni guarantees the quality of your Windows Server Migration training

Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.

Step 1

Rigorous trainer selection

Each trainer is validated on three criteria: hands-on field expertise, proven pedagogy and alignment with your industry.

  • Triple validation: technical, pedagogical, sectoral.
  • Minimum rating 4.8/5 over the last 12 sessions.
Step 2

You meet the trainer beforehand

30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.

  • Live briefing on goals and team context.
  • Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.
Step 3

Content tailored to your context

No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.

  • Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
  • Program co-written then validated by your team.
Step 4

Continuous quality follow-up

Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.

  • NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
  • Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.

A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.
