Hello, Cloud Gurus,
and welcome back for this section,
where we're going to take a look at
how you can implement Active Directory Domain Services.
There's quite a bit to cover in this section,
so let's take a look at all of the topics
that we're going to cover off.
First up, we'll take a look at Active Directory forests
and we'll take a moment to understand those,
and then we'll take a look at both Active Directory domains
and domain controllers, and how they fit
into the larger Active Directory Domain Services picture.
We'll take a look at how you can deploy
your domain controllers on-premises.
And then we'll take a look
at how you can expand Active Directory across multiple sites
by exploring Active Directory sites
and replication between those sites,
and then we'll take a look at
how you can secure your branch offices
by deploying read-only domain controllers.
Then we'll take a look
at the Flexible Single Master Operations roles,
and that's that's quite a mouthful,
more commonly referred to as FSMO roles
or operations masters.
So we'll take a look at those.
And we'll also explore the purpose of the global catalog.
And then finally, we'll take a look at how you can use
Active Directory Trusts to collaborate
between organizations or large business departments.
Now there's quite a bit to cover in this section
and if any of those terms are foreign to you right now,
don't worry, we're going to break them down
and cover them in great detail.
And if all these concepts are really familiar to you,
it's still very important to revise all of these concepts
in preparation for the AZ-800 exam.
All right.
And with that, we have quite a bit to cover.
So let's go ahead and get started.
