55344: Identity with Windows Server

Instructor-Led 13 Agenda

Description

This course teaches IT professionals how to deploy and configure Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) in a distributed environment, how to implement Group Policy, how to perform backup and restore, and how to monitor and troubleshoot Active Directory - related issues with Windows Server. Additionally, this course teaches students how to deploy other Active Directory server roles, such as Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) and Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS). Although this course and the associated labs are written for Windows Server 2022, the skills taught will also be backwards compatible for Server 2016 and Server 2019. This course replaces retired Microsoft course 20742.

Course Overview

Course Objective

After completing this course, you will be able to: Install and configure domain controllers. Manage objects in AD DS by using graphical tools and Windows PowerShell. Implement AD DS in complex environments. Implement and administer Active Directory Rights Management Services (AD RMS). Implement AD DS sites, and configure and manage replication. Implement and manage Group Policy Objects (GPOs). Manage user settings by using GPOs. Secure AD DS and user accounts. Implement and manage a certificate authority (CA) hierarchy with AD CS. Deploy and manage certificates. Implement and administer AD FS. Implement synchronization between AD DS and Azure AD. Monitor, troubleshoot, and establish business continuity for AD DS services.

Who Should Attend

This course is primarily intended for existing IT professionals who have some AD DS knowledge and experience and who aim to develop knowledge about identity and access technologies in Windows Server. This would typically include: AD DS administrators who are looking to train in identity and access technologies with Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2019 or Windows Server 2022. System or infrastructure administrators with general AD DS experience and knowledge who are looking to cross-train in core and advanced identity and access technologies in Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2019 or Windows Server 2022.
