Great Course, good content however not enough documentation resource to take away. I think a may be a summary of each topic area to take away would help.

Excellent course! It's full of useful and well-explained information. I loved every part of it and highly recommend it. 5 stars without hesitation!

By Diptiranjan Sahoo on 11/16/2025

I thought this course was focused specifically on Active Directory, but it also includes Windows Server administration. The fundamentals of Kerberos are missing, and it would be helpful if you could also add a little bit about LDAP.
