Defining administration

- [Instructor] I'd like to start off by talking a little bit about administration. What exactly do we mean when we say Windows 11 administration? And in computer and operating system terminology, the word administration can mean slightly different things to different people. The definition I usually work with is that administration is the installation, configuration, management, and reliable operation of the operating system. So let's talk about each of these individually. First, installation. So in this course we will be talking about installing Windows 11, and then also adding users 'cause that's usually done immediately after installation. For configuration, we'll be talking about the settings interface, networking, storage, and group policy, and how we can configure all of these things. Then in management, we'll talk about backups and drivers, and how to manage those. And finally, in reliable operation, I'll cover troubleshooting and optimizing. So that's our four items under administration. So that's our four items under administration. Installing, configuring, managing, and reliable operation.
