After learning years on Windows Server, this video makes clear understanding of DC.

[@quintonnkoane9885]

Do you have CompTIA A+ certificate?

[@trevor6607]

This gentleman teaches so well. I'm working my way through several of his videos and plan on joining any serveracademy classes that are relevant to me as well. Keep up the great work!

[@evanistrans-dimentional2092]

Very explanatory in such a short time. Thank you! This was more informative than my AD DS class.

[@TheHumanSwissArmyKnife]

Good Job, I am relearning this all over and your basic approach is great both visually and spoken word. This is a very narrow window of people can appreciate your time and effort in these videos.

[@FNG_Star]

This was a very concise video. A rarity in this industry. Great job.

[@hamzapuris]

Loud and clear! Great explanation :-)

So helpful! Thanks!

[@jatinasmith9735]

You rocked that thank you!

[@david203]

Very interesting. You didn't mention the distinction between Windows Home, Windows Professional, and Windows Servers, so may I assume that Active Directories and Domain Controllers are available for all current variants of Windows?

[@nobytes2]

No, as far as I know AD is only available in the server editions.

[@TheRubanramesh]

Good Work, Crisp Explanation.

[@ServerAcademy]

Thanks!

[@meisbeans8883]

Great job !!

[@SuperBODY90]

[@Mr.1997-July]

1.) Can the domain admin controller can view the user monitor display? 2.) Can the domain admin controller can freeze a running software (this is to catch if a guy watching movie at office) of the user

[@kalapatapuyaswanthasaiphan8811]

Simple & Neat.

[@bachirelamine2590]

Just Perfect

[@LuckyLegend1]

Awesome program

[@soulsurvivorla]

So good!

[@vijaykumar-ex4gf]

Nice explanation, do you have video for Replication issue and troubleshooting....

[@ServerAcademy]

I do not at the moment but I am planning to create them!

[@gamingscapepro]

Thanks Paul.

[@y44ctt]

Would a domain controller use the same operating systems as clients? or is there a specific operating system DCs use?

[@ServerAcademy]

Domain Controllers use Windows Server. The "AD DS" server role is what turns Windows Server into a domain controller. You can install several other server roles as well as listed here: docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/server-core/server-core-roles-and-services. Windows clients could be other Windows Server OS, or Windows 10/7/etc. Hope that helps.

[@y44ctt]

@@ServerAcademy thank you for the reply this helps a lot!

[@RonSpwan11]

AWESOME!!!!!!

[@benja303]

A Domain Controller is any server that has Active Directory. Group policy etc

[@thekingsson1757]

I needed this plain explanation 9 years ago lol

[@ServerAcademy]

I feel you on that!!

[@david203]

Is there an advantage to adding a Domain Controller to my home network of three computers?

[@james_nt]

best, 10/10

[@Ketyimp0rta]

thank you

[@omomeneehinome]

[@emigrant4life]

[@ARLIETECH]

Thanks

[@lifeneed1489]

[@gerardboussim7998]

Nice video, just need to correct spelling mistake at the last sentence

[@ServerAcademy]

Thanks! I am the king of mispelled words (see what I did there?)

[@brandonpennington872]

why are there no good how tos on setting this up?

[@david203]

Because it's an invention of Microsoft. They excel at designs that bring them income, and don't do so well in areas that bring little income, such as bug fixing.

[@marval_A]

I feel lost when I dont manage to get things in my work. I feel unsupported when my team lead humiliates me underestimate me put me down it affect my confidence my personality please help to become expert in this technology

[@gabrielveras3657]

Speak to fast without any pause

[@BogdansPhotos]

2:54.... IE ? Really? hahahaha

[@sreepriyanks]

do you wait for metro train? i cant understand anything

[@david203]

Modern software loves to invent specialized words and software mechanisms, so there is an extra hurdle to learning. It helps make customers more dependent on Microsoft and so become a more certain source of income for Microsoft. There is also an extra hurdle for users as each level of complexity must be dealt with in added daily operations and in additional maintenance operations. I've never seen much usefulness in Microsoft's "enterprise-level" functionality, since it also provides scripting, and almost any remote or advanced administration task can be done with the help of scripting.

[@sreepriyanks]

@@david203 thanks for your reply, and am sorry , i can understand what you say now, because so many changes happened me ,from tha level, knowledge is everything, thank you again.

[@Michael_Scott_Howard]

LOL...

[@rasulshojaie]

good video, but you talk too fast...lol

[@ServerAcademy]

I agree! I'm trying to work on my pacing
