Before you start
No formal prerequisites are listed. This is design-level material, so you should already be confident running Windows Server 2012. The 70-410, 70-411, 70-412 and 70-413 courses build that base.
You will get the most from the lessons if you have access to a lab with Hyper-V, so you can try the virtualisation and high availability tasks yourself. Use the 56 practice questions to test your understanding of each area.
About the 70-414 exam
Exam 70-414 was one of the Microsoft exams for the MCSE: Server Infrastructure certification, alongside 70-413. It checked whether you could plan and build an advanced server setup with monitoring, high availability, virtualisation and identity services. The course follows the four exam areas: managing the server estate, high availability, server virtualisation, and identity and access.
Microsoft retired all MCSA, MCSD and MCSE exams on 31 January 2021. Certifications already earned stay on your transcript, and the design skills here still apply to Windows Server environments.
For a current credential, Microsoft now points learners to role-based certifications such as Azure Administrator (AZ-104).
