Mastering Active Directory
With vendors placing such a high emphasis on cloud skills, it’s easy to forget about the core essentials. With so many folks coming into the industry without these skills, this lack of knowledge is not only becoming an operational problem, but also a security one as well. Active directory and its backups are now becoming a major target for hackers, and there is a massive shortage in skilled individuals with the knowledge to thwart these attacks.
To combat this problem, this 2 day course will provide deep Insights into Microsoft Active Directory. Hosted by veteran MVP and technical expert, Andy Malone, this course will provide you with the skills you need to not only Administer, and manage AD, but also troubleshoot active directory. In just 2 days Andy will enhance your skills to not just managing users, groups, and devices. But also advanced skills like disaster recovery and extending on-premises systems into Microsoft Azure and beyond.
