Charming indeed ;-) But to the video, thanks A LOT for this no fluff hands-on intro to AD, explained very easy and well structured. Great video!

[@EastCharmer]

Thank you! I really wanna show how we typically use it at work

[@olioliver9396]

Thank you very much for the interesting AD video. I have one comment about the service account. Microsoft recommends using Group Managed Service Accounts (gMSA). These have the advantage that the password is managed by Windows and is quite long and you can define the rhythm in which the password should be changed. There are two problems with an AD account as a service user: 1. the password for an AD account is rather insecure (usually only a few characters long). 2. if the password of the AD account is changed, the password must be changed everywhere where the AD account is used as a service user. This is not necessary with a gMSA. Thank you and have a wonderful weekend.

[@EastCharmer]

Thanks! Yes that is correct!! That's a better way to manage them. I'm probably gonna make another video about that on the hands-on activity portion of the series

[@charliecorp548]

Hello Charmer, I ask you what would be better when we have an offloading? Inside the company's domain it would be better to delete the user or simply deactivate it after migrating all groups permissions for the new upcoming onboarding staff?. I think this would depend on the policies and the type of company. Thanks.

[@EastCharmer]

Hello! That's a great question, I would say it depends on your company policy but I can tell you what we do in my current workplace. When we offboard, we disable the accounts for a period of time like 1-2 years because sometimes we have interns or contractors that could come back in a few months to work again and deactivating is easier than making new accounts. And like you mentioned, sometimes we retain them for new staff permissions. Then we do our audit every 2 years to decide if we wanna delete or keep the accounts

My personal opinion - Lots of things should be covered earlier before starting the installation session - 1. IDA infrastructure by Microsoft. 2. Concept of Domain, Tree, forest, global catalog. 3. Concept of security principles, inheritance, ACLs in Microsoft. 4. Services related to active directory. 5. How the server and client interacts and the underlying networking Concept of it. 6. A brief about ntds.dit and sysvol. 7. Concept of name resolution and WINS + DNS. THERE ARE LOT MORE LEFT... My sugession is - Check the active directory global exam prep book released by Microsoft, Books written by MARK MINASI & AD COOKBOOK. This is entirely my personal openion. You can check it or drop it...

[@EastCharmer]

[@irfankhan-xm5ww]

one question : do you think one should have a solid understanding of a ticketing system to land an IT SUPPORT job ... if so, which one is used in the industry .....

[@EastCharmer]

Atleast familiarity on how it works and how to manage tickets. Usually you'll get trained at work because companies have different policies and SLAs for tickets. Just knoe best practices like you should assign the ticket to yourself if you're working on it. Respond to the requestor that you acknowledge the ticket. Tickets are also used for documentation purposes so for new issues, you should document the resolution for future references. The most popular ones are service now, jira and fresh service.

To get your device to join the AD server you need to make sure your AD has a static IP address.
