Windows Server Active Directory is very much indeed a important subject in Windows Server administration. In this course I have tried my best to cover all components of Active Directory. Active Directory networking and maintenance is a really important work for a system administrator's day to day job life. Active Directory is not only about managing users and computers in an organisation, it is an art for a system administrator how the he/she built a secure network to protect company's inside informations, from malicious users.
In this course I have covered Active Directory administration for operating systems such as
Windows Server 2019 Active Directory PowerShell
Windows Server 2016 Active Directory
Windows Server 2012/2012R2 Active Directory
