Explore the user registration and deregistration process for domain users, provisioning them, and verify the logging process after joining the Linux system to a Windows domain.
Create new Windows domain users in Active Directory, verify their login and connectivity to the domain, then deregister them and use the accounts to log into the Linux system.
Verify that new Windows domain users can log into the Linux host joined to Windows Active Directory, with home directories provisioned and desktop access established.
Learn how to offboard a resigning user by disabling their Windows domain account to revoke logins across Windows and Linux hosts. Then optionally delete the account after the initial waiting period, ensuring the user cannot authenticate on the domain or connected systems.
Learn to implement centralized, strong password policies in a Windows domain to protect user identities and resources across a Windows and Linux interoperability environment.
Provision Windows domain and apply password policies to new Linux users in Linux users OU, then verify policy enforcement by logging into the line X host with Linux1 and Linux2.
Verify that new Windows domain users can log in to the Linux host and have home directories created. Explain password policies that enforce strong passwords to protect organization data.
Implement Windows domain password policies in Active Directory for a Linux-hosted user, showing how must-change password at next logon and cannot-change password policies affect login and password updates with passwd.
Master Windows domain password policies across Linux and Windows hosts by resetting passwords on the domain controller, forcing changes at next logon, and using Active Directory Users and Computers.
Provision and access a shared drive over the network within the Windows and Linux interoperability module. Learn secure, collaborative file sharing across local networks and cloud.
Provision a shared folder on a Windows domain controller to simulate a central file server, apply logical access policies, and verify them by accessing the share from a Linux system.
Configure a Windows shared folder with access controls via Active Directory, test access from a domain-joined Linux host, granting read for all and full control to one user.
Configure and verify Windows share permissions from a domain-joined Linux host, connect to the server, and test read-write access with fine-grained permissions.
Explore how to manage the print service in a Windows network and observe its effects on a domain-joined Linux system.
Set up a shared printer on Windows Server 2012, install the print management role, and connect from a domain-joined Linux system to print and verify end-to-end interoperability.
Configure a new shared network printer in a Windows domain by creating a unique port, installing a generic driver, and sharing the printer with a descriptive name and location.
Verify the configured network printer by sending a test document to the paused print queue, observe the active jobs in the Windows printer queue, and confirm proper setup.
Connect a Linux system to a shared Windows printer using the system-config-printer tool and Samba, including network discovery, SMB address, domain credentials, and driver selection.

Technologies and modern agile practices like cloud computing, DevOps and microservices are encouraging technical teams to pick the right tool for the right job. Rather than be fanatical about a particular platform or operating system, it’s more efficient and cost-effective to embrace all the tools at your disposal.
Typically, you will see some file servers or other network servers running Linux operating system whereas the knowledge workers are using Windows operating systems with Office productivity suite. These users don’t care which platform the files and data are on. They need access.
Do you know what it takes to make these two operating systems work together seamlessly within the same environment?
How does a Linux user login to the system using their network credentials? How can Windows and Linux users share files? Share printers?
These are some of the fundamental problems IT administrators struggle with on a daily basis.
In this course, “Networking Masterclass: Interoperability between Windows and Linux”, you will get an in-depth look at how to build bridges between your Windows and Linux systems.
This course teaches you how to deploy, configure and manage your heterogeneous environment and implement interoperability mechanisms between your Windows computers and Linux workstations.
These IT skills are in high demand, but there is no easy way to acquire this knowledge. Rather than rely on hit and trial method, this course will provide you with all the information you need to get started with your interoperability requirements.
Start-up’s and technology companies pay big bucks for IT administrators with the talent to set up these elaborate networks. They demand cloud engineers and consultants manage their heterogeneous network infrastructure, and in turn, you can demand top dollar for your abilities.
Do you want the skills to be highly sought after?
Do you want your career to touch cloud 9?
Did you answer, "Absolutely" to that question?
If so, then our new training program "Networking MasterClass: Interoperability between Windows and Linux" is for you.
