Microsoft 365 Administration Foundations: Deploy and Manage a Microsoft 365 Tenant (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798242912168)

Your Microsoft 365 tenant is not "just created." It is built. And the way you build it determines whether your environment feels predictable and secure, or chaotic and fragile.

Deploy and Manage a Microsoft 365 Tenant is the practical, admin-first guide to setting up Microsoft 365 the right way and running it with confidence after go-live. You will walk through the decisions that matter early, like how you treat the first admin account, how you bring in your domain and DNS correctly, and how you set tenant-wide defaults that shape daily life for every user.

From there, you will learn how to operate Microsoft 365 like a living service. You will use Service Health and notifications to communicate clearly when Microsoft has an incident and your helpdesk is heating up. You will interpret Network connectivity insights so performance problems stop being guesswork and start becoming evidence you can take to the network team. And you will put recovery on solid ground with Microsoft 365 Backup, including how protection scope and the pay-as-you-go model really work in plain language.

This book is written in a calm, story-driven style with real-world vignettes and "Admin instinct" takeaways that show you what to do next time, what to document, and what to watch for when things get noisy.
Inside, you will learn how to:

• Create a tenant you will not regret, starting with admin account safety and a clean setup checklist
• Add and manage domains with confidence, including why DNS choices affect far more than email
• Configure Service Health notifications so you know first and your users know what to expect
• Diagnose "Microsoft 365 is slow" complaints using Network connectivity insights and location-based facts
• Plan and implement Microsoft 365 Backup for fast, admin-led recovery when it actually matters
• Manage roles with least privilege habits that scale, including how to avoid the "too many global admins" trap

Microsoft 365 Administration Foundations is a four-book series built for admins who want real competence, not just button-clicking. If you support Microsoft 365 in the real world, this volume will help you build a tenant that stays stable, supportable, and ready for growth.
