Course Overview

The Advanced Active Directory Training by Koenig Original is a comprehensive 40-hour program designed for IT professionals aiming to master complex Active Directory environments, particularly those preparing for Microsoft certification exams related to Windows Server Active Directory Services. This course covers critical topics including Group Policy management, Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS), Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS), and Dynamic Access Control. It is tailored for systems administrators, network administrators, and security analysts responsible for managing enterprise identity and access infrastructure. With over 90% of Fortune 500 companies relying on Microsoft Active Directory for identity management, expertise in this domain remains a high-demand skill across global IT departments.

Students gain hands-on experience with core technologies including Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS), AD FS, AD CS, AD RMS (Rights Management Services), and Azure Active Directory.
