Description
This comprehensive course is designed to help you become a modern SQL Server DBA by mastering PowerShell automation, dbatools, SQL Server installation, maintenance, monitoring, reporting, and migration in real-world environments.
You will start by building a complete virtual lab using VMware, setting up multiple SQL Servers, a central monitoring server, and an Active Directory domain. From there, the course gradually introduces PowerShell fundamentals, modules, and advanced automation techniques used by professional DBAs.
A major focus of this course is SQL Server automation using dbatools and PowerShell DSC. You will learn how to install, configure, patch, uninstall, and manage SQL Server completely through scripts—eliminating repetitive manual work.
The course also covers database maintenance tasks such as database creation, configuration, ownership changes, recovery models, file growth, backups, restores, security management, logins, roles, and server administration across multiple SQL instances.
In advanced sections, you will implement SQL Server monitoring using Grafana, capturing real performance metrics like CPU, memory, IO latency, backups, error logs, SQL Agent jobs, and instance details, all visualized through professional dashboards.
You will also learn automated reporting and alerting using PowerShell, including HTML reports, email notifications, backup missing reports, replication alerts, database health checks, and DBCC reports.
Finally, the course covers database migration using dbatools, helping you move databases safely and efficiently between SQL Server environments.
By the end of this course, you will have the skills to automate SQL Server administration, manage multiple servers confidently, and work like a real-world SQL Server DBA using PowerShell.
