DESCRIPTION

Active Directory is the heart of a Windows network, providing a centralized location for administration, security, and other core management functions. For example, Active Directory authenticates all users in a Windows network and enforces policies for managing your desktop estate.

It skips the theory and concentrates on the day to day administrative tasks needed to keep networks running smoothly. It walks through basic features and shows how to administer AD both from the GUI tools built into Windows and by using PowerShell and the AD cmdlets.
