Stop clicking through Active Directory Users and Computers one account at a time. This course teaches you to automate Active Directory administration with Windows PowerShell - creating, modifying, and bulk-managing users, groups, and Organizational Units at scale, the way real Windows Server administrators do it.
This is a hands-on Active Directory + PowerShell course for system administrators, IT support engineers, and anyone managing Windows Server environments. You'll even build your own lab from scratch (local VM plus optional Azure and AWS labs) and install and configure Active Directory, so you can practice safely without touching production.
Active Directory is still the identity backbone of the vast majority of enterprises in 2026, and it now sits at the center of hybrid identity setups that sync to Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD). That makes solid, scriptable AD administration skills more valuable than ever - and PowerShell is the tool that does it.
You get 36 lectures across 6 sections, plus hands-on labs and course material - all backed by 1-on-1 instructor support, LIFETIME access, and a 100% money-back guarantee. If you dedicate about 30 minutes a day, within roughly two weeks you'll be automating the AD tasks that currently eat most of your time.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN - KEY TOPICS COVERED:
- Build a complete lab: create VMs (local, Azure, AWS) and install & configure Active Directory
- Active Directory fundamentals - structure, components, and designing Organizational Units (OUs)
- The PowerShell essentials you need for AD: Get-Command, objects, pipeline, filtering, and formatting
- Working with the PowerShell Active Directory (AD) module
- Access and query AD users with distinguished names and filters
- Automate Active Directory user provisioning and account modification
