Active Directory is the heart of most Windows networks, and PowerShell is the fastest way to build and manage it. In this course you install AD DS with the shell, make the server a domain controller, then manage the users, groups and computers that live in it, with every step shown on screen.
What the lectures cover
Besides the main topics, you also work through: Add a new domain controller to an existing domain; Manage, configure and modify user objects, computer objects and group objects with PowerShell cmdlets; Finish with an introductory lecture on IIS 10 and a bonus lecture on what to learn next.
Inside the course
The course is organised into these sections: Configuring the Server; Managing DNS; Adding New DC to the Domain; Managing, configuring and modifying User objects in AD; Managing, configuring and modifying Computer objects in AD; Managing, configuring and modifying Group objects in AD; Web Server IIS 10 Fundamentals with Powershell and GUI. Lectures you will find include: The key DNS related Definitions; Adding DC to the existing domain; Flexible Single Master Operations Roles.
The course runs about 1.9 hours in 18 lectures. It is a short, practical introduction to managing AD with PowerShell and not a complete Active Directory certification course. It works best if you watch a lecture, then try the same commands in your own lab straight away.
