*NEW* Active Directory For HelpDesk - From Zero to Hero

This course is a complete hands-on Active Directory lab designed to take you from beginner to confident Windows Server administrator using real-world scenarios.

You will learn how to build, configure, and manage a full Active Directory environment step by step using Windows Server. Instead of just theory, this course focuses on practical labs that show you exactly how things work in real environments.

We start by setting up your lab environment and installing Windows Server, then move into core Active Directory concepts such as Domain Controllers, DNS configuration, and domain management. You will learn how to add a second Domain Controller for redundancy, configure DNS properly, and understand how replication works between servers.

We also cover essential topics like RAID storage, Active Directory backup and restore, Global Catalog, and how to manage replication using Active Directory Sites and Services.

As the course progresses, you will dive deeper into more advanced topics including FSMO roles, removing and rebuilding Domain Controllers, working with Read-Only Domain Controllers (RODC), Active Directory Domains and Trusts, and managing enterprise environments.

You will also gain a strong understanding of networking fundamentals such as TCP/IP classes and subnetting, which are critical for working with Windows Server and Active Directory.

This course is perfect for beginners, IT support professionals, and anyone preparing for system administrator roles or IT certifications.

By the end of this course, you will be able to confidently build and manage your own Active Directory environment from scratch and understand how it works in real-world scenarios.
