Course Description
This is a "living" course that will be continuously updated with new PowerShell and Active Directory content.
Learn how to use PowerShell to manage and automate Microsoft Active Directory in a real-world Windows Server environment.
Learn how to use AI to enhance your scripting ability and to troubleshoot new and existing scripts.

If you regularly work with Active Directory and find yourself performing the same administrative tasks over and over, PowerShell can save you time and make your work more efficient.

Throughout this course, you will learn practical PowerShell scripting and Active Directory automation techniques that you can immediately apply in a Windows Server environment.
You don't need to be a PowerShell expert. The course focuses on practical examples and demonstrations that show you how PowerShell can make Active Directory administration faster, easier, and more consistent.

I have been in the technology field for more than 20 years. I have been a high performing Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT) since 2000 and a Cisco Certified Systems Instructor since 2006. I began my career in telecommunications more than 20 years ago. Since then I have worked as a Systems Admin, Network Admin, System integrator, Solutions Architect, and CTO. My courses are not presentations that rely on slides to explain concepts. My goal is to demonstrate every concept covered, instead of using slides that cover theory, we will use the interface to configure every setting that is discussed. In my view, if you do not know how to complete a task that a course covered, that course was not beneficial. I will make sure that you know how to complete each task and the various configurations for those tasks.

This is a great starter course in PowerShell for Active Directory Administrators. I have had some Powershell experience and would have liked more advanced options such as explaining if statements, creating arrays, and hash tables. This is a great course though to start with for using PowerShell. Thank you Kevin Brown! You are a great instructor and I like how you explained in a down to earth tone of what you were doing and the options on PowerShell ISE.

I have been working with AD for about 30 years and with PowerShell for a long time. In 95% of the modules, I either had an "ah ha" moment or mentally stated something to the effect "that's pretty cool!" This course is worth its weight in gold. Very well done!

Whas pretty good the course , but in my particular case i feel like the las parto of the course "Insalling Active Directory Using PowerShell" can be don at the front of the first lessions. Because you can more easly work on the practice if you have an enviroment installed. For example in my case i used an VM in my onpremise desktop. So was need for me start by the end for try to use Windows Server and Powershel with an AD installed.

While there is great content in this course, it did not full fill my needs for line of work. I manage A small network of laptops and there are some commands that my predecessor used to get info and to see certain updates were installed or to push updates to systems. I am still searching for such a course.

The way of explaining each and everything was so perfect that even a non-techie can understand it well. Covers all basic things. I will definitely take more courses from the same instructor.
