Topics Covered

• Plan identity, networking, storage, security, and landing-zone requirements
• Migrate Windows Server virtual machines with controlled replication and cutover
• Plan SQL Server migration paths, compatibility, downtime, and data validation
• Step-by-step implementation workflow and configuration decisions
• Hands-on verification of core features, data, and expected results
• Documentation of assumptions, dependencies, naming, and change controls

Guided Practice Steps

1. Translate the lesson requirement into a clear PR-602: Migrate and Secure Windows Server and SQL Server (Migrate Compute) implementation or analysis objective.
2. Document assumptions, selected tools or features, dependencies, risks, and expected results.
3. Perform the guided task, capture evidence, and compare the result with the acceptance criteria.
4. Record issues, corrective actions, and a reusable operational or development note.

Practical Activity

Design controlled migration steps for a Windows VM and a SQL Server workload.

• Define the scenario, inputs, constraints, and expected outcome.
• Complete the activity and preserve screenshots, outputs, logs, code, or decision evidence.
• Review the result, identify gaps, and document corrective or improvement actions.

Validation Checklist

• The stated requirement and expected outcome are clear.
• Configuration, code, data, or design decisions are documented.
• Normal, boundary, failure, security, and operational considerations are reviewed.
• Evidence supports the conclusion and the next action is prioritized.

Lesson Outcome

Learners can explain and apply Windows Server and SQL Server Migration Execution within a realistic PR-602: Migrate and Secure Windows Server and SQL Server (Migrate Compute) scenario and support the result with validation evidence.
