I have been in IT for a few years now but rarely do I study. This instructor does a really good job of breaking things down. I will subscribe.

why do they not teach this in college???? i just got my bachelors in Information System and not once did they teach us Active Directory, ive been searching for jobs and 9/10 times the job requirements want u to know AD and now i gotta spend extra time learning AD that school did not invest us students in.

Totally new to IT. My father is a senior systems engineer and I decided to get into the field at 31. Definitely love this videos breakdown and would appreciate any good tips anyone has for a beginner like myself.

I'm taking college courses for network administration and one of the classes is 'Windows Server OS'. I found this video very helpful when trying to understand what an active directory is. Just read through a whole chapter and didn't understand fully. As what others have said before, phenomenal teaching style. Thanks a ton you earned my sub!

Domain Controllers -

A domain controller is a Windows server that has Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) installed and has been promoted to a domain controller in the forest. Domain controllers are the center of Active Directory -- they control the rest of the domain. I will outline the tasks of a domain controller below:

holds the AD DS data store
handles authentication and authorization services
replicate updates from other domain controllers in the forest
Allows admin access to manage domain resources

I watched quite a few videos on active directory, none of them is as good as yours. The fact that you've used diagrams makes it so easy for some one to have a clear picture of active directory. Thanks buddy!!

This was a really great quick brief description of Active Directory. I’m looking forward to see what else this channel has to offer.

great videos, especially for those with little experience who need to understand fundamentals and how to treat real world scenarios. Thank you and please... do more of the basics!!!

My friend who works in a relatively large IT company got me a job interview for an entry level IT support position, which is in a couple of weeks. I'll be honest I'm a nervous wreck right now, cause so far my work experience consists of repairing Desktops, Laptops, Tablets and so on, not so much working with networks/servers/domains. I was told that at the very least I should have a basic grasp of AD, which I've never used in my life. Thank god I found this video, cause it made it so much easier to understand what AD is actually is used for.

Thank you sir. Im a poor boy trying to learn how to use active directory. Im using my phone only but i jave learned a lot from your videos.

Thank you Paul, this was very helpful. You explained the basics in an easy way to get the jist of it when ms docs becomes convoluted at times. My previous place of work didn’t use AD and the customers I dealt with rarely used it and now thanks to you I want to learn more AD.

[yolandabilal]

Thank you! I have been reading until my eyes bleed and this is short and to the basic point. Great job explaining the basic concept.

I'm getting into IT, there's so much to learn! thank you for breaking it down for me :)

I'm taking Paul's course on Udemy or Windows Server! Good stuff

[victorjozwicki]

Thanks man. I was having trouble jogging my memory. I'm getting prepared for an interview, and this helped a ton.
