In this video, Garth Schulte covers all the new features that Windows Server 2016 boasted compared to its predecessor, as well as to its competition. Learn about the much-anticipated features while also preparing to use the hands-on labs that are available to CBT Nuggets students.

This video was recorded before the release of Windows Server 2016, so send yourself back in time, mentally, as Garth introduces the new release’s features. But that doesn’t mean what he covers isn’t helpful.

Garth introduces Windows Server 2016’s most anticipated, useful and product-defining features. That historical look remains a helpful way to view Windows Server 2016. If your company is transitioning to Server 2016, or if you want to get a sense of where the cloud-ready OS has come from, it’s helpful to learn what features define it.

There are a ton of features, but not all of them are completely new, some have grown and expanded. Not all the features are like Nano Servers: brand new, others are more familiar. Garth also covers Containers, Storage Spaces Direct, Storage Replica, PowerShell 5, and Hyper-V.

If you work with any of those tools or applications currently, or you imagine you’ll need to, watch Garth explain them and you’ll see how the evolution of Windows Server 2016 has progressed.
