The normal server operation in today’s data centers is the task which consumes most of time of today’s IT professionals. Any management strategy which is to be implemented it has to take into account physical and virtual infrastructure. Windows Servers include new functionality on every version, which aid to reduce the management overload, either local or remote.
Windows Server: Practical Administration, Security & Automation at Scale
Windows Server is the foundation of most enterprise IT environments, supporting identity, access, application hosting, virtualization, and hybrid cloud integration. At EguibarIT, we take a practical and security-first approach to Windows Server operations. Our goal is to share tools, insights, and automation techniques that empower infrastructure engineers to deploy, manage, and harden Windows Server environments with confidence.
Whether you’re running full GUI installations or the stripped-down Server Core edition, this section offers guidance and tools aligned with real-world enterprise needs. Server Core is increasingly the preferred deployment model in secure environments, thanks to its reduced footprint, smaller attack surface, and improved servicing model. However, it requires a solid grasp of PowerShell, remote management, and configuration automation—areas in which EguibarIT excels.
We cover critical areas such as Active Directory integration, Group Policy design, privileged access delegation, and Windows Update control, using proven methods and scripts you can plug into your own workflows. You’ll also find deep dives on Hyper-V, role-based access control, and practical techniques for maintaining system hygiene—especially valuable in environments without GUI-based tools like cleanmgr.exe.
Some of the standout resources are our DelegationPS Powershell Module and HousekeepingPS PowerShell module, developed specifically for Server Core and other headless setups. It helps administrators to delegate permissions and rights, create AD roles, automate disk cleanup, remove stale user profiles, clear update caches, and manage system logs safely—tasks that are otherwise manual, error-prone, or simply unavailable in Core editions.
We’re also advocates of secure delegation and least-privilege administration. Our content around Group Managed Service Accounts (gMSA), tiered administration, and semi-privileged account provisioning offers practical models for scalable and secure operations. Whether you’re working in a legacy datacenter or modern hybrid Azure AD environment, you’ll find content that bridges classic architecture with current best practices.
Explore this section to stay up to date on the evolving Windows Server landscape. Every guide is backed by decades of field experience, with an emphasis on reproducibility, security, and clarity. From automation to access control, this is your gateway to mastering Windows Server administration—at scale, and without compromise.
