MicroNugget: How to Delegate Custom Tasks in Server 2012 Active Directory

In this video, Don Jones covers how to delegate tasks in Active Directory in Microsoft Windows Server 2012. This process allows you to be extremely specific, and Don will walk through each step to demonstrate how you can leverage this function for your own applications.

The Delegation of Control Wizard in Active Directory provides a relatively easy way to delegate straightforward tasks. If you dig deep enough, you’ll find that it also allows you to get incredibly granular about what you delegate.

Don opens the Active Directory Users and Computers console, which is where the process begins. He begins by choosing the organizational unit that contains the objects over which you want to delegate control, then walks through each step of the delegation task process in detail. You’ll hear a nuts-and-bolts description of what you need to do, as well as a more exhaustive discussion of what effect each step has and why it’s a necessary part of the process.
