Project Summary

Active Directory is used by approximately 90% of Global Fortune 1000 companies. It goes without saying that it is important to be at least familiar with Active Directory considering that I will likely have to use it, especially in the world of IT. This project greatly helped me understand Active Directory in more depth. I had a basic understanding of what AD was but not really how it worked or what was going on in the backend. This project gave me experience in configuring a domain from scratch and performing administrative duties in Active Directory. To recap, in this project, I successfully:

• Configured Windows Server 2019.

• Configured DHCP and NICs on the Domain Controller.

• Created 1000 users with PowerShell.

• Configured a client machine (separate VM).

• Reset a user’s password.

• Created an Organizational Unit (OU).

• Created a Group Policy Object (GPO).
