ADFS & NetScaler Video Training Course by Ryan Betts

I have produced and released the first 4 videos in my ADFS & Citrix NetScaler training course. The purpose of this course is to give administrators all the hands on skills required to deploy ADFS on Windows Server 2012 R2 with Citrix NetScaler for HA and load balancing. The course purposely does not cover the theory related to ADFS, it simply provides a reference architecture with example on network configurations etc. 

The videos released so far are;
  • Video 1 - ADFS Topology Overview, Certificates and Installing ADFS
  • Video 2 - High Availability Concepts and Clustering with ADFS
  • Video 3 - Web Application Proxy (WAP) Configuration & NetScaler Networking
  • Video 4 - Citrix NetScaler Configuration for ADFS/WAP Pairs
I have not yet completed the remaining videos in the series, but will in the next couple of days, the next videos are going to be;
  • Video 5 - Implementing AD Connect & Federating to Office 365
  • Video 6 - Client Settings for ADFS
  • Video 7 - Architecting ADFS on Azure for DR Purposes
  • Video 8 - Reverting Federation if ADFS Fails
The reason I have produced this course is due to the vast amount of messages I have received on the back of this blog post http://blog.ryanbetts.co.uk/2015/06/configuring-citrix-netscaler-to-load.html unfortunately I have some how lost the PDF version of this guide I made in 2015. Therefore I have replaced it with a full video course.

If you have found any of my articles interesting please consider nominating me as a Microsoft MVP ;)
