Active Directory is one of the most pervasive technologies in the Windows networking world, with good reason. Active Directory makes it easy to manage users, security policies, and network resources. It’s so good, many companies rely on it exclusively to manage their network infrastructure.
This video introduces Active Directory and shows how to install/configure it on a server running Windows Server 2008. It then shows how to add additional servers to the domain, in this case a Server-Core machine, and configure the second machine so that it is a backup domain controller. Finally, it briefly covers how to create user accounts and configure sharing of resources (like shared folder volumes) for users of the network.
Note: This video was created as part of a networking class that I am currently teaching. I’ve posted it here in the hope that it will be useful to a slightly wider audience.
