Course Overview

The Microsoft course Supporting and Troubleshooting Windows 11 (55342AC) equips IT professionals with the skills to diagnose and resolve complex issues in Windows 11 environments, aligning with the objectives of Exam MD-102: Endpoint Administrator. Designed for Enterprise Desktop Support Technicians (EDSTs), help desk specialists, and system administrators, this course prepares learners to deliver Tier 2 support in medium to large organizations where 87% of enterprises have adopted Windows 11 as their standard desktop OS.
