Read chapterDEEP CORE BOOK
A modern textbook covering AD design, controllers, objects, Group Policy, DNS, authentication, auditing, recovery, schema and automation.
The supplied Active Directory Cookbook is organized as a broad task-oriented reference covering forests and domains, domain controllers, objects, OUs, users, groups, computers, Group Policy, schema, sites, replication, DNS, permissions, auditing, recovery, application partitions and integration. This book keeps that breadth but updates the teaching for current Windows Server.
This book is original Netcomtech training material. The supplied historical PDFs are used to identify the subject breadth and operational questions worth teaching, while current implementation guidance is checked against current Microsoft documentation.
Read it in order if the subject is new. Experienced administrators can use the chapters as a reference manual.
