"Azure AD is not AD in the cloud" I’ve said many times in past videos. But what IS AD then? Well in this video I answer that!

Please make sure to read the description for the chapters and key information about this video and others.

I'm a long time AD admin/engineer/architect since the Windows 2000 days. Just wanted to say this was an excellent over view and I will be recommending it to some of my colleagues to better understand AD under the hood. I even learned a couple things I didn't know about!

[gabrielalexanderclothingco]

This is brilliant, perfect for those who want to understand how AD DS actually works. You have painted a very clear picture on how all this works and ties in together. Excellent video

[cyclesix]

Actually some younger IT professionals should watch this. I have a few colleagues in the second level that are missing this essential knowledge :)

[donaldperkins]

Thanks John - I found it really helpful to watch this prior to reading the Microsoft Online Docs for AD DS. It's much easier to visualize and digest all the minutia of the docs when you have the big picture to hang it on. I really appreciate your style and cadence as well.

[lltagged]

Love that fact that you're creating a vid about AD on your Azure channel! Most companies still run On-Prem or Hybrid so this stuff is important to know. As always you're rocking it hard. Thanks! 🤙

[HarshTekie]

Love the shirt! I started visiting your site back when I was getting my NT 4.0 certification.

[matthewmiles]

John, thank you so much for your time and effort to make these videos. Great information and I’ve learned so much from your content. Much appreciated!!!

[spiritmorin]

You can be proud of your shirt, keep smiling😁

[TorbayTech]

I live a breathe this stuff, and when this came up in my feed I thought it would be an interesting watch. Just have to say that never in a month of Sundays could I have put together such a clear and digestible explanation! Highly recommend this to anyone.

[yulaw]

joyful video for learning today, thanks so much!

[FelipeAugusto-xhzc]

Fantastic video John. I hope I had this video back in my time instead of 600 pages to prepare for the MCP path of MCSA. This will be definitely the video to share with some colleagues.

[sylviawylie]

Generic comment to show my appreciation. Keep winning John!

I've worked in IT for over a decade, from Service Desk up to SysAdmin and, as such I have worked with AD for a long time but regrettably never did any official certs. I usually score quite high on tests related to AD but I found this video enormously helpful, I learned so much. Thanks bigly John! In a generic way of course 😛

[JoshuaSelfe]

Love this video! For someone who grew up with cloud being a mature offering and the preferred approach, for most use cases, this is really helpful to understand historic tech context!

[thesickbeat]

Thank you John, I don't have prior experience with on-prem AD so this is very useful.

[larsstampe]

Brilliant overview of Active Directory. Well presented. Thanks for all the content you make.

[KevtechITSupport]

I been watching some of your other videos. Awesome work on explaining ad domain service.

[bronsonmagnan]

John, excellent video, very important knowledge for newer IT members that they may have missed if they started with the cloud. What do you think about doing a case study series where you take an existing lab network for the Justice League, with dc, exchange, sharepoint, file, rds, rras vpn, print services, and a workstation; and then use the series migrating the environment into modern AAD, MS365, Azure Files, AVD etc?

[simonwelt]

Brilliant refresher video, can't believe how much you got through in an hour, thanks so much. I also remember the BDC days! :)

[sukhjindersinghcheema]

I really appreciate you for this video.take care
