[Windows Server 2022] Master Network Load Balancing (NLB)

In this video, I'll cover everything you need to know about Network Load Balancing (NLB) in Windows Servers. I'll start with an overview of NLB, and then dive into the technical details of setting up and configuring an NLB cluster.

I'll cover the prerequisites for creating an NLB cluster, including the different networking protocols you can use, and the hardware requirements. I'll then walk through the step-by-step process of installing the NLB feature on your servers and configuring the cluster.

I'll cover topics such as customizing the default IIS page to display the hostname on NLB nodes, creating port rules and client affinity settings, and managing the NLB cluster. I'll also discuss the pros and cons of different load-balancing methods, and how to test your NLB cluster to ensure it's working correctly.

Whether you're new to NLB or an experienced administrator, this video will provide everything you need to know to master network load balancing with Windows Server in under 40 mins.
