Understanding Active Directory and Group Policy

Install Active Directory and Create Group Policy Objects

[dayday]

I've worked in IT for over 15 years but having had a career break I needed a quick refresh on AD&GP. Could not have found a better video. Straight to the point, well narrated, well paced and slim enough to cover the main points you need to know. Highly recommended video.

I am only five minutes in and I can confidently say that you are one of the most elegant instructors I have seen on YouTube.

I needed to know enough of AD to be able to answer some interview questions, as I have not used it since 2005...
I have been a tech for about 30 yrs. I forget things that I don't use. This Video Tut. is awesome! Great job in explaining, and your vocab is perfect. Thank you Kevin.

i am amazed how well this tutorial is. No bs, no talking in vain, just straight to the point and then most importantly, showing everything in practical use. Well done. I ll be sure to share this video to my peers if they have trouble understanding DC

At 28, I have just started my IT career. I was able to understand the basics of ADDS. Thank you! I will go through to other videos every night.

Mr. Brown. I am a student at MyCC (My Computer Careers) and I must say that you are the best instructor by far. Thank you for your excellent teaching.

Great video explaining Active Directory and group policy. Perfect for someone pursuing a career in IT. Thanks.

Pls ignore my Personal notes: Active directory (AD) = Role in server. Once AD installed system becomes a "Domain Controller". Benefit of AD = Centralized Administration. Can create policies. Can manage all users and computers. No need to be in front of physical PC to do things such as, reset PW or Create user accounts. Should have at least 2 Domain controllers. AD replicates to other Domain controllers.

Kevin I have completed your Udemy course on Active Directory 2016 around two years back and since then I became your fan. Your teaching method is simple, clear and highly informative.

This has been one of the best videos I've found on YouTube. You've explained the how and the why in a way I can easily understand. I'll be signing up for more of your courses on payday as there is much more I need to learn. Thank you for this video.

[mrCetus]

I've never seen any instructors or teachers who can simplify a task.
amazing job.

I just started a new gig without any real IT knowledge and your classes are saving me - thank you!

[wderricks]

I have never seen anyone to be so perfect in explaining all these topics so clearly like Kevin. I have always struggled with group policy but i got it now. I changed the wallpaper on PCs in my lab environment via GPO just from watching this video. I just bought Kevin's Windows server 2019 course on Udemy immediately i finished wathcing this. Much appreciation Kev.

This is the first tutorial out of 15 that has actually got me all the way through setting up AD. Thank you so much, Kevin!!

If this method of explaining IT knowledge was common, it would be actually encouraging to pick up. Fastest 50minute video of my life.

First, I want to thank you Mr.Kevin so much for the great explanation🙏💫
Second, If someone doesn't get why we have the best practice of "At least two domain controllers" as he said in "the summary part"
It is because we want the solution to be redundant and fault-tolerant. Thus, if one domain controller fails or becomes unreachable, other domain controllers can continue to provide the service.
So by that, we achieved multiple benefits such as:
1- Redundancy
2- Replication
3- Load distribution
4- Geographical distribution

You are one of the greatest teacher on the Planet !

What a great quality! You don't even need more than 3 minutes of watching to recognize that this video has a very high quality and deserve a like. Great job!

[siekeiasiedu]

I just started this IT class and been watching this video over and over. I just love it, Very under standing. Thank you very much

[billieanderson]

You should be the AD of all Professors and create a GP that they replicate in teaching the way you do. The IT force would be solid and phenomenal. Amazing and Thank You!!

Finally a hero teaches me the ad stuff. Bravo!
