Active Directory Skills for IT Support Professionals

Active Directory (AD) is fundamental to managing users and permissions in Windows Server environments. Mastering Active Directory is a critical skill for IT administrators and help desk professionals alike. This course provides a comprehensive understanding of Active Directory administration, covering the management of users, groups, and computer accounts within a domain.
