Active Directory administration through the GUI works until you need to do something fifty times, and that is where PowerShell becomes essential. This course covers the AD tasks IT pros repeat daily, using live demonstrations of both PowerShell commands and the server GUI so you can see how they map to each other.

This Course Offers

• PowerShell fundamentals for managing, configuring, and modifying Active Directory
• User object management covering creation, configuration, and modification at depth
• Computer object management across the domain, including configuration and modification tasks
• Group object management including memberships and how to handle them efficiently through scripting
• Group Policy administration, plus live demonstrations comparing PowerShell commands with the server GUI

Why We Love This Course

1. It is aimed at working IT pros, so the material focuses on tasks you actually perform rather than theory.
2. The comparison between PowerShell and the GUI helps you understand what the commands are doing under the hood.
3. Automation is the underlying goal. Everything is framed around scripting daily tasks rather than retyping them.
4. At two hours across fourteen lessons, it is focused on a specific skill set rather than a broad Windows administration survey.

Directory administration scales badly when done manually, and the admins who script it become the ones others rely on. Do you want to keep clicking through the same console screens, or automate the tasks that repeat? Enrollment is open, and general Windows Server familiarity is expected.

• This course is perfect for IT specialists and system administrators managing Active Directory.
• It suits DevOps technicians wanting to script directory tasks rather than perform them manually.
• Scripting and automation technicians looking to extend their skills into AD administration will find the command coverage directly useful.

• Familiarity with general Windows and Microsoft server administration is expected.
• Access to an Active Directory environment, such as Windows Server with AD DS, is needed to practice the commands.
• PowerShell needs to be available with the Active Directory module loaded to follow the demonstrations.
