Active Directory Tutorial for Beginners

[@TheFunkmastercaster]

This was extremely helpful, a recruiter asked me if I knew Active Directory for Microsoft and I told him, "not much in Microsoft, but I will go home and find out." I did find out thanks to your video! Cheers from Colorado!

[@justinblack9538]

Did you get the job and we're you confused using Microsoft Directory the first time?

[@bigdawg4157]

@@ServerAcademy An internship legally is a position where an individual is being trained and the employer providing the training derives no immediate advantage from the activities of the intern and on occasion, its operations may actually be impeded. This is not the case 99% of the time.

Thank you!! Took a break from IT 6 years, and now being looked at for IT Sys Admin position, so helped allot to get refreshed on Active Directory!! I've got a B.S. Information Technology Management even with education and time off, Can't go into a new position with fear only confidence!! Thank you!! God Bless

[@TonyTone1]

Wow, you took 6 years from IT, Why ? that’s a lot. You probably need to start from scratch or entry level IT position , lots of information is forgotten or has advanced. I been out of work for 6 months from IT, that quite some time, not by choice. I will return to IT tomorrow, a bit rusty. That’s why I watch this video on Active Directory

[@johncook6723]

Been out of IT for a few years after losing my job. Trying to get back in the field. This helps a lot. Thanks, man.

[@honestdave4362]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! I have found so many terrible tutorials, including those from Microsoft that I nearly gave up in frustration. This tutorial told me exactly what I needed to learn. In fact I liked it so much I actually sat through the commercials and didn't skip even once!

Thank you! I watched this tutorial right before my interview and knew exactly what to say. This tutorial is spot on, not too much, just the basics you need. I owe you, mate.

Hi Paul, Loved this vid!! You mentioned deleting an account in AD. I only have very limited exposure to AD, but I was told to not delete an account, but to make it inactive when a user leaves. Then, once a new user is hired, reactivate that account and add the new users details so that you don't have to redo all the access administration that the old user had. Is that good practice or just a personal choice? -Phil

tbh that sounds like very good practice
