This three-day instructor-led course will provide delegates with the knowledge and skills to plan for and implement a hybrid environment between SharePoint Server on-premises and SharePoint Online in Office 365. In this course, delegates learn what steps are required to plan a hybrid SharePoint environment and will use hands-on labs to prepare for and implement a hybrid environment. Content includes learning about the basics of cloud services and hybrid environments, their key components and how to configure several different hybrid features and scenarios.
In this course, students will first deploy a SharePoint 2016 on-premises organization containing a SharePoint 2016 server in an Active Directory domain environment. This will involve installing the prerequisites for SharePoint Server 2016, installing SharePoint Server 2016, configuring it’s required certificates and internal and external DNS records, and provisioning some OUs and users. Students will then sign up for an Office 365 trial subscription and populate that cloud-based environment with some users. Then they will add a public domain to the new Office 365 tenant. Next, students will look at the options available for directory synchronization in a hybrid deployment, then run the Azure AD Connect wizard to synchronize on-premises users to the cloud, and assign some Office 365 user licences to their synchronized users. Then they will create and configure the SharePoint 2016 service applications and sites required to enable a hybrid SharePoint 2016 environment, and finally students will configure and test different SharePoint hybrid features and capabilities.
