This chapter covers the AZ-800 Administering Windows Server Hybrid Core Infrastructure exam learning objective: Deploy and manage AD DS in on-premises and cloud environments.
We will start this first chapter with an understanding of Active Directory concepts and its portfolio of services. We will focus on Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS). We will look at each component of AD DS in more detail and then move on to understanding how to create and manage an instance of AD DS in on-premises environments. We will then conclude with a hands-on exercise to develop your skills further.
The following main topics will be covered in this chapter:
- What is Active Directory?
- What is Active Directory Domain Services?
- Active Directory Domain Services components
- Creating Active Directory Domain Services
