I've worked in IT for over 15 years but having had a career break I needed a quick refresh on AD&GP. Could not have found a better video. Straight to the point, well narrated, well paced and slim enough to cover the main points you need to know. Highly recommended video.
Great video explaining Active Directory and group policy. Perfect for someone pursuing a career in IT. Thanks. Pls ignore my Personal notes: Active directory (AD) = Role in server. Once AD installed system becomes a "Domain Controller". Benefit of AD = Centralized Administration. Can create policies. Can manage all users and computers. No need to be in front of physical PC to do things such as, reset PW or Create user accounts. Should have at least 2 Domain controllers. AD replicates to other Domain controllers.
You are a salient teacher. I just got my A+ certification and wanted to have some hands on in my lab before applying for jobs. I followed you step by step and watched the video twice and I can do everything by myself that was covered in this course. God will lift you even higher. Thanks!
I needed to know enough of AD to be able to answer some interview questions, as I have not used it since 2005... I have been a tech for about 30 yrs. I forget things that I don't use. This Video Tut. is awesome! Great job in explaining, and your vocab is perfect. Thank you Kevin.
i am amazed how well this tutorial is. No bs, no talking in vain, just straight to the point and then most importantly, showing everything in practical use. Well done. I ll be sure to share this video to my peers if they have trouble understanding DC
Kevin I have completed your Udemy course on Active Directory 2016 around two years back and since then I became your fan. Your teaching method is simple, clear and highly informative.
I have never seen anyone to be so perfect in explaining all these topics so clearly like Kevin. I have always struggled with group policy but i got it now. I changed the wallpaper on PCs in my lab environment via GPO just from watching this video. I just bought Kevin's Windows server 2019 course on Udemy immediately i finished wathcing this. Much appreciation Kev.
What a great quality! You don't even need more than 3 minutes of watching to recognize that this video has a very high quality and deserve a like. Great job!
This has been one of the best videos I've found on TH-cam. You've explained the how and the why in a way I can easily understand. I'll be signing up for more of your courses on payday as there is much more I need to learn. Thank you for this video.
First, I want to thank you Mr.Kevin so much for the great explanation🙏💫 Second, If someone doesn't get why we have the best practice of "At least two domain controllers" as he said in "the summary part" It is because we want the solution to be redundant and fault-tolerant. Thus, if one domain controller fails or becomes unreachable, other domain controllers can continue to provide the service. So by that, we achieved multiple benefits such as: 1- Redundancy 2- Replication 3- Load distribution 4- Geographical distribution
starting in my job and not knowing anything about active directory this puts things into a crstyal clear picture of why active directory is needed within the first 5 mins. Thank you!!!
I'm very glad to have stumbled upon this video! I wasted no time in LIKEing and SUBSCRIBing. I now have a much better understanding of Group Policies (among other things) and it's quite refreshing to find an online instructor without a ridiculously thick accent and a natural teaching pace.
Born to be a teacher! Thank you very much for this video will check much more since your method is straight, stepped properly, not fast but with a lot to learn
You should be the AD of all Professors and create a GP that they replicate in teaching the way you do. The IT force would be solid and phenomenal. Amazing and Thank You!!
I don't usually leave any feedback which is not very polite from my side but expressing you that this is a master piece of content was a necessity. Thanks!
This is called talent and passion. I will purchase your courses that I need and I m going to promote you to ppl who needs great contents just in appreciation of you as great person and talent. I am lucky that I came across your videos. ❤
this is just one of best of the best courses i ever found on web about windows server. i recommend this for every one who wants to know the concepts of server management and have a solid foundational about windows server, thank you sir.
This is the best video on Active Directory I’ve seen anywhere so far. All concepts explained clearly and the analogies make it much easier the grasp these concepts. 🙏 thank you sir
I graduated back in 2019 just before covid19 and I did all these active directory in French but I find this is most useful video I have ever watched thank you
Woah mate! I don't know if this is the best tutorial about AD but this is very helpful. Our school has been discussing this step by step for almost a week or two while i easily learned the basics from this video for just 51 minutes. Thanks bro!
Oh My God!! I am at a loss for appreciative words to express my deep appreciation for this informative video. Quickly, I am testing for a verbal interview for my Tech II position (currently am a Technical Support Tech I) and wanted to refresh that which I know and enlighten myself of things I have only heard about in our weekly meetings and would help me prepare for my oral exam. The way to explain everything and show examples, simplistically, is truly amazing and extremely helpful. If I pass this test, I will definitely become a member of at least one of your courses in order to become a more knowledgeable and valued next tier tech...particularly in relation to networking and AD. Thanks so much again!! (Huie-California)
Kevin, thank you for a great overview of Active Directory and Group Policy. I don't have an official IT education and I am trying to break into that field. Every job requires this experience. I have done a lot of this on the client-side but not on the server. Thank you for the wealth of information. I hope I can find time to take some of your courses. If you explain things as clear in those courses as you did here they will be a home run. Cheers!
Thankyou SIR i learned a lot , from Philippines , currently working as Senior Technical Support , with a background System ad , and netword admin Thanks
I know this is an older video, but....Wow, I have been trying to understand and learn active directory for weeks , mainly to see if my existing commercial network would benefit from it. I have watched tons of videos and still did not really understand . I was about to move on and forget about it when I found this video. Within 5 minutes I fully understood its purpose and realized what it could do for my business network and my sanity! Thanks so much for taking the time to put this video out! I will most definitely check out your other classes on Udemy!!!
Thank you for your guidance. This video is so straightforward and easy to follow. So many other guides on this topic are either disorganized, or they assume previous knowledge. I'm trying to get my first job in IT so I've never used Active Directory in a live enterprise environment and this video helped so many things click for me. I will definitely be checking out your courses on Active Directory and Group Policy.
Oh Man !! Kevin, I like the way you have made the things clear and simple. I am amazed. I like your teachings. This is the first video I have seen of yours. Now I want to see all your videos. 👍
gracias llevo como 10 años siendo administrado, pero hay un gran trabajo de mucha gente detrás para que sea mas fácil de descubrir que impresionante logistica.
I am only five minutes in and I can confidently say that you are one of the most elegant instructors I have seen on TH-cam.

just started a new job and learned all about GP from this amazing video 10/10
At 28, I have just started my IT career. I was able to understand the basics of ADDS. Thank you! I will go through to other videos every night.
yeah,me too

I was in the same boat. I haven't administrated AD since around 2008. fun times :)

i am amazed how well this tutorial is. No bs, no talking in vain, just straight to the point and then most importantly, showing everything in practical use. Well done. I ll be sure to share this video to my peers if they have trouble understanding DC
If this method of explaining IT knowledge was common, it would be actually encouraging to pick up. Fastest 50minute video of my life.
This is the first tutorial out of 15 that has actually got me all the way through setting up AD. Thank you so much, Kevin!!
I've never seen any instructors or teachers who can simplify a task.
amazing job.
well observed hey. awesome demonstration
Kevin I have completed your Udemy course on Active Directory 2016 around two years back and since then I became your fan. Your teaching method is simple, clear and highly informative.
Mr. Brown. I am a student at MyCC (My Computer Careers) and I must say that you are the best instructor by far. Thank you for your excellent teaching.
I just started a new gig without any real IT knowledge and your classes are saving me - thank you!
lol what im trying to do rn
You're not alone Kate.
if you are starting, i would recommend learning the OSI layers first ( CISCO ccna ). Mapping these topics to layers.
I have never seen anyone to be so perfect in explaining all these topics so clearly like Kevin. I have always struggled with group policy but i got it now. I changed the wallpaper on PCs in my lab environment via GPO just from watching this video. I just bought Kevin's Windows server 2019 course on Udemy immediately i finished wathcing this.

lolo, am watching this as i prepare for my interview, my guess is i am in the right place

I didn't need to go all the way to the end to know this guy's the reaaal deal!
You should be the AD of all Professors and create a GP that they replicate in teaching the way you do. The IT force would be solid and phenomenal. Amazing and Thank You!!
I don't usually leave any feedback which is not very polite from my side but expressing you that this is a master piece of content was a necessity. Thanks!
Just started a new job as a system admin and added a direction to go. this video put me in the right direction. thanks a lot
Thank you. I have an interview this Friday and after watching this video I feel confident about the part of the interview. greater teacher.
An absolute Masterclass in AD. This video helps tremendously in my CCNA and A+ studies.
I was enthusiastic on understanding AD, now I understood the basics behind it and nice example. Thank you Kevin.
I couldn't stop nodding my head from start to finish. Good work Kelvin. 👏
This is an excellent video. I've been struggling to comprehend the whole AD env for a while now, and this video helped me break that line
This is called talent and passion. I will purchase your courses that I need and I m going to promote you to ppl who needs great contents just in appreciation of you as great person and talent. I am lucky that I came across your videos. ❤
