7 sections • 18 lectures • 9h 4m total length

Introduction of ADDS39:18
Explore Active Directory basics in Server 2019, covering domain networks, domain controllers, data stores, global catalog, and the hierarchical structure with domain tree, forest, sites, OU, and schema.
Installing Domain Controllers40:09
Learn to install and configure a Windows Server 2019 domain controller, explore five domain controller types (PDC, CDC, ADC, RODC, etc.), and set up forest, DNS, and PDC resilience.

ADDS Objects Part-0143:41
Define Active Directory objects and manage user accounts across local workgroup and domain networks using ADUC, ADAC, and PowerShell, including logon names, UPNs, and delegation.
ADDS Objects Part-0244:05
Define groups and organizational units in Active Directory, distinguish security and distribution groups, explore global, domain local, universal scopes, and manage permissions via group policies.
ADDS Objects Part-0318:27
Create Active Directory objects such as user accounts, groups, and OUs using PowerShell and DS commands, and manage computer accounts and sites.

Group Policy Part-0135:38
Group policy controls two object types—user and computer accounts—across OUs and sites. Use group policy management console and editor to configure user and computer settings, Windows settings, and admin templates.
Group Policy Part-0232:43
Explore advanced group policy topics, including GPO storage and containers, linking, backups and restores, security filtering and delegation, RSOP reporting, and inheritance controls.

Adds Trust21:33
Explains how Active Directory trusts connect domains and forests to enable resource access, and outlines transitive and two-way trusts, including parent-child, tree root, external, forest, and shortcut types.
Adds Trust Lab-0122:45
Explore practical implementations of Active Directory trusts, including parent-child and shortcut trusts, by configuring domain controllers, DNS, and two-way, transitive trust relationships in a lab.
Adds Trust Lab-0224:44
Explore configuring tree root and forest trusts in Active Directory, linking two forests with stub zones, DNS zone transfers, and two-way transitive trust for cross-forest access.

Advanced Adds Concepts39:45
Explore advanced Active Directory concepts by examining domain and forest boundaries, replication and administration boundaries, and how partitions (configuration, schema, domain, application) govern AD data, group policies, and DNS zones.
Adds Sites and Replication44:54
Explains how Active Directory replication flows across domain controllers and forests, introduces sites and four partitions (configuration, schema, domain, application), and covers replication components like connection objects, KCC, and notification.
Managing Adds Database10:49
Explore the Active Directory database structure in NTDS, including EDB, edb.log, and checkpoint logs. Learn maintenance, snapshots, defragmentation, and backups via ntdsutil, Windows Server Backup, Azure Backup, and DPM.
User Accounts Security12:51
Secure server 2019 user accounts by enforcing password policies, account policies, and fine grained policies. Default domain policies apply to all users; fine grained policies tailor settings for specific users.

Radius and VPN Server12:59
Radius server provides authentication, authorization, and accounting in a client-server model using principal, credential, and context; configure vpn first, then enable radius with the Network Policy Server role.
Configuring Radius Server8:58
Configure radius server with the NPS role in Active Directory, integrate VPN and NAT, register the server in AD, and define a sales group with users u11 and u12.

Description

Implementing, Managing and Troubleshooting Active Directory Domain Services.

A directory is a hierarchical structure that stores information about objects on the network. A directory service, such as Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS), provides the methods for storing directory data and making this data available to network users and administrators. For example, AD DS stores information about user accounts, such as names, passwords, phone numbers, and so on, and enables other authorized users on the same network to access this information.

Active Directory stores information about objects on the network and makes this information easy for administrators and users to find and use. Active Directory uses a structured data store as the basis for a logical, hierarchical organization of directory information.

This data store, also known as the directory, contains information about Active Directory objects. These objects typically include shared resources such as servers, volumes, printers, and the network user and computer accounts. For more information about the Active Directory data store.

Security is integrated with Active Directory through logon authentication and access control to objects in the directory. With a single network logon, administrators can manage directory data and organization throughout their network, and authorized network users can access resources anywhere on the network. Policy-based administration eases the management of even the most complex network. For more information about Active Directory security
