Google Workspace / Messaging administration / GW-GMAIL
Administer Gmail delivery and email security
Develop focused administrator skills for domains, routing, authentication, compliance, investigation, migration, and reliable Gmail delivery. This is an ExamIT Lab skill route, not a separate Google certification.
Stage 1 · Messaging administration
Build the Workspace operating foundation
Start with lifecycle, policy targeting, domains, licenses, and the core services users depend on every day.
- 1.Domain verification, MX records, and service activation
- 2.SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and alignment
Stage 2 · Governance, access, and operations
Protect data and keep services healthy
Continue with compliance, least-privilege administration, endpoints, monitoring, and evidence-led troubleshooting.
- 3.Routing, gateways, journaling, and compliance rules
- 4.Spam, phishing, malware, and attachment controls
- 5.Email Log Search, headers, and delivery troubleshooting
- 6.Migration, delegation, and mailbox lifecycle
Hands-on consolidation
Put it into practice
In a test domain, document DNS records, configure a safe routing scenario, authenticate outbound mail, analyze synthetic headers and delivery logs, test a compliance rule with non-sensitive messages, and record rollback steps.
Ready to move on when…
You can predict mail flow, interpret authentication results, distinguish routing from compliance controls, and diagnose non-delivery from DNS, headers, and logs.
Use a test tenant and synthetic users and data. Never experiment with production retention, routing, access, or deletion settings.
