About the Course

Spin up faster, ship apps smarter, and keep users happy. In this hands-on fundamentals course, you’ll learn how to work inside an existing Application Workspace environment like a pro. Along the way you’ll see practical demos, quick wins, and real-world troubleshooting tips you can use the same day.

What you’ll learn

  • Workspace basics: Portal vs. Catalog vs. Manage and when to use each.

  • Importing apps: Setup Store & Microsoft Store flows, dependencies, and staging (DTAP).

  • Custom packages: EXE/MSI templates, action sets, filters, and shortcuts.

  • Targeting access: Entitlements, Contexts, and publishing options (Hidden, Catalog, Workspace, Forced).

  • Deployments: Preload sets of apps during agent rollout or imaging.

  • Smart Updates: Scheduled Tasks, notifications, and a centralized “updates” package.

  • Troubleshooting: Events, logs, and Smart Diagnostic Reports.

How it works

  • Bite-sized videos with knowledge checks after each section

  • A 25-question certification exam at the end (80% to pass)

  • Designed for endpoint admins, service desk leads, and ops teams

Finish with confidence: you’ll be ready to operate, support, and scale Application Workspace—and primed for the next step, Application Workspace Administration & Automation (201).
