This book is written to demonstrate the management of Active Directory in the Windows Server 2016 environment. While all code samples provided here work in the Windows Server 2016 environment, some will work in the Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows Server 2012 environments as well:
- Readers of this book need a basic knowledge about Microsoft Active Directory Domain Service and related terms.
- PowerShell commands and scripts have been used heavily in this book. Readers should have basic knowledge and experience on PowerShell and relevant tools.
- All the PowerShell commands and scripts were tested on PowerShell Version 5; these may not be compatible with the older PowerShell versions.
- PowerShell scripts have been represented in the way readers can easily understand. Therefore when using those in the environment, pay attention to the extra spaces and line breaks. It is recommended to use PowerShell ISE to run the scripts.
- All the configuration examples are tested on systems which run Windows Server 2016. Some of these may not be applicable for older version of AD DS and role services.
