Description

This course is aimed to IT Pros and is supposed to give the viewer the information they need to know to get started with Active Directory (AD DS) and its key concepts. The goal is to provide coverage of AD DS main concepts like AD DS components: schema, forest, domain, OU (Organizational Unit), containers. There is also an introduction to Active Directory Administrative Center and the other management tools.

Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) can help you manage your network more effectively. For instance, you can use it to manage user and computer accounts in groups instead of managing one account at a time. It also provides ways to group objects together in containers called organizational units (OUs) and to delegate administrative tasks to help you distribute workload efficiently.

Managing device identities is becoming increasingly complex as more employees bring their own devices into the workplace. As Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) programs expand, you will be managing device identities for many types of personal devices and the various operating systems that they run. AD DS has many features that can make this easier.

This module describes how to use both graphical tools and Windows PowerShell to manage user and computer accounts and groups. It covers how to manage an enterprise network by performing bulk operations to modify object attributes.

The course is targeted to help learning Active Directory and do your job more efficiently.
