Unlock the backbone of secure enterprise environments through identity and access management. Over 90% of Fortune 1000 companies rely on Active Directory for authentication and identity management, making it one of the most critical skills for IT professionals today. Without a solid foundation in Active Directory and related services, organizations risk downtime, compliance failures, and security breaches.
The 55344 Identity with Windows Server course is an instructor-led training that teaches IT professionals how to deploy and configure Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS), implement Group Policy, and monitor and troubleshoot Active Directory, related issues with Windows Server 2022. You’ll also learn how to deploy other Active Directory server roles, including Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS) and Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS).
This hands-on training helps you implement core and advanced identity and access technologies in Windows Server. With practical labs using PowerShell, Server Manager, and Windows Admin Center, you’ll configure domain controllers, secure AD DS environments, and synchronize with Azure AD. The skills apply not only to Windows Server 2022 but also to Windows Server 2016 and Windows Server 2019, giving you flexibility to support hybrid and distributed environments.
What you'll be able to do
By completing this course, participants will be able to install, configure, and secure identity solutions with Windows Server, while strengthening their ability to connect on-premises environments to Azure AD for hybrid identity management. Key outcomes include:
- Install and configure domain controllers
