Overview

Microsoft are migrating Compliance features and functionality from the ‘Classic’ Microsoft Purview compliance portal to the ‘new’ Microsoft Purview portal.

QA are rewriting all course materials and labs to the new Microsoft Purview portal. Updated courses will be available when the new Microsoft Purview portal is in General Availability or shortly after (likely to be Autumn 2024).

Overview

This course covers Microsoft Teams for Administrators. Delegates will learn the following including hands on labs

  • Microsoft Teams Features and Functionality
  • Microsoft Teams planning and deployment considerations
  • Microsoft Teams Administration tools and role models
  • Microsoft Teams Meetings functionality and administration
  • Microsoft Teams Messaging and Channels
  • Microsoft Teams Security and Compliance features
  • Microsoft Teams Reporting
  • Microsoft Teams calling features and administration

Prerequisites

Delegates should have a basic understanding of what Microsoft Teams is and basic computer skills.

Note: This course is for people involved in Microsoft Teams Administration, not end users.

Whilst this is not a PowerShell course, as PowerShell is one of the core administrative tools within Microsoft 365 products - there will be PowerShell steps referenced within the course and used in the labs. Where PowerShell is used in the labs Students can either copy and paste the instructions, or in most exercises use a GUI alternative method (though sometimes a GUI alternative is not available). A high level understanding of what PowerShell is would be very beneficial, but not absolutely essential for this course.
