Course Description

This course is aimed to IT Pros and is supposed to give the viewer the information they need to know to get started with Active Directory (AD DS) and its key concepts. The goal is to provide coverage of AD DS components of advanced AD DS deployments, how to deploy a distributed AD DS environment and· Configure AD DS Sites and Replication.

The course is targeted to help learning Active Directory and do your job more efficiently. 

After completing this course, you will be able to:

· Describe how AD DS replication works.

· Configure AD DS sites to help optimize authentication and replication traffic.

· Configure and monitor AD DS replication.

· Describe AD DS partitions.

· Explain how AD DS replication works within a site.

· Explain how to resolve replication conflicts.

· Explain how replication topology is generated.

· Explain how SYSVOL replication works.

Within an AD DS infrastructure, standard domain controllers replicate Active Directory information by using a multiple master replication model. This means that if a change occurs on one domain controller, that change then replicates to all other domain controllers in the domain, and potentially to all domain controllers throughout the entire forest. This lesson provides an overview of how AD DS replicates information between standard domain controllers and also read-only domain controllers (RODCs).

If you want to learn with hands-on practice, this is the right course. The lab exercises are clear, and I could follow them without any issues.

Finally, a course that explains replication like a pro! The demos and explanations helped me master Active Directory sites quickly.

Until now I'm not seeing a deep dive at the subject of this course, it is a just an overview, I hope it will dive in a more detailed latter on, because what is being coverd until now you can find in internet

By Haji Rustami on 10/3/2024

The education was fantastic; the guides were clear, and the examples presented were extremely informative. Perhaps I would have preferred a bit more theoretical information, but otherwise it seems to be a good course.

This course showed me a lot about Windows servers, and I believe it is the most effective online educational resource easily accessible.

By Ivica Dasovic on 9/16/2023

It was definitely an easy to flow short course however i found that you could have delivered it a lot more better than what you have done.

By Ediciell Sewok on 9/2/2023

Instructors way of teaching is excellent ,I recommend Active Directory: Sites and Replication with a Lab to those who want to start in Active Directory

By Atila Farkas on 12/16/2022

Great material, but there should be more screenshots, pictures or animated demos for the things you are talking about. The reading of the text is not synchronized with the presentation. The paragraphs you are talking about could be somehow highlighted. Also, take a breath between paragraphs.

By Frank Asi on 9/15/2019

I'd like to see rules and limitations when there are more than 8 sites/locations. When to configure hub and spoke instead of full mesh connection, When it i best to enable or disable bridge site links.
