ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR

My name is Mohamed Farid, and I am a senior Microsoft Certified instructor & IT consultant. 

I have been working with and teaching, Microsoft administration classes related to Windows Server (MCSA) for a long time. 

In this course, I will walk you through everything you need to know to get started using Active Directory & Group Policy in a Windows Server 2012 or 2016 environment. Everything is taught. Step-by-step. 

I do not waste any time talking about unnecessary details. I take my time teaching and showing you the exact things you NEED to know to acquire the skills proficiently. 

The course is taught using Windows Server 2012, but almost all lessons can be implemented in Windows Server 2016. I will also show you what new features has been introduced to Windows Server 2016 Active Directory. 

This course is not for people that just want a surface level understanding of AD & GP. Take this course if you are, or want to be, a serious IT professional with no time to waste. 

And if you have any questions regarding the course material - just ask it in the course classroom. I spend a lot of time answering my students questions and I love to see them succeed. 

By the end of the course, you will have a thorough theoretical understanding of how AD & GP works as well as the practical skills to use it on the job competently. 


WHAT IS ACTIVE DIRECTORY & GROUP POLICY (AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?) 

Active Directory is Microsoft's trademarked directory service and is an integral part of the Windows Server environment. Active Directory is a centralized and standardized system that automates network management of user data, security, and distributed resources, and enables interoperation with other directories. 

Active Directory is designed especially for distributed networking environments.

Group Policy is the essential way that most organizations enforce settings on their computers. It is flexible enough for even the most complex scenarios; however, the essential features are easy to use in simple scenarios, which are more common.

Most medium to large sized companies and government agencies, expects their IT staff to be proficient in Active Directory and Group Policy so that you can run their servers competently
