00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:02,580
Hello, and welcome to Pluralsight.

2
00:00:02,580 --> 00:00:07,010
Welcome to the course, Deploy and Manage Active Directory Domain Services.

3
00:00:07,010 --> 00:00:08,710
This is the first module in the course.

4
00:00:08,710 --> 00:00:11,510
Its title is Deploy and Manage Domain Controllers.

5
00:00:11,510 --> 00:00:14,350
My name's Tim Warner, I'm your instructor.

6
00:00:14,350 --> 00:00:20,530
In this first content lesson in our AZ‑800 skill path here at Pluralsight,

7
00:00:20,530 --> 00:00:22,580
you'll learn how to deploy and manage domain

8
00:00:22,580 --> 00:00:25,400
controllers on‑premises and in Azure.

9
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:28,310
That's really important because remember that this Hybrid Cloud

10
00:00:28,310 --> 00:00:32,090
Administrator certification validates your skills working with

11
00:00:32,090 --> 00:00:34,000
Windows Server in both contexts.

12
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,140
You'll learn how to deploy Read‑Only Domain Controllers,

13
00:00:37,140 --> 00:00:40,660
as well as troubleshoot Flexible Single Master Operations,

14
00:00:40,660 --> 00:00:42,380
or FSMO roles.

15
00:00:42,380 --> 00:00:43,160
Let's begin.

16
00:00:43,160 --> 00:00:46,260
Taking a bird's eye perspective of this course,

17
00:00:46,260 --> 00:00:49,090
Deploy and Manage Active Directory Domain Services,

18
00:00:49,090 --> 00:00:52,320
I've created five modules in the course.

19
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,880
This first one, of course, is called Deploy and Manage Domain Controllers.

20
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:59,100
We'll then Configure Active Directory Forest Environments.

21
00:00:59,100 --> 00:01:02,270
Then, we'll Create and Manage AD DS Security Principals,

22
00:01:02,270 --> 00:01:05,220
after which we'll Implement and Manage Hybrid Identities,

23
00:01:05,220 --> 00:01:08,840
and then finish up with Manage Windows Server with Group Policy.

24
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,940
Now I hope you've already watched the prologue to this skill path.

25
00:01:12,940 --> 00:01:16,510
I created a course called Introduction to Exam AZ‑800,

26
00:01:16,510 --> 00:01:19,360
and I encourage you to check that out if you haven't yet.

27
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:23,840
This is the first content module of that learning path.

28
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:28,980
The Windows Server Hybrid Administrator Associate credential requires two exams.

29
00:01:28,980 --> 00:01:34,560
One is what we're doing in this course and this skill path for exam AZ‑800,

30
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,830
Administering Windows Server Hybrid Core Infrastructure.

31
00:01:36,830 --> 00:01:40,030
The other requirement is you're passing AZ‑801,

32
00:01:40,030 --> 00:01:42,930
Configuring Windows Server Hybrid Advanced Services.

33
00:01:42,930 --> 00:01:45,660
I'm not going to talk much more about it than that because I've

34
00:01:45,660 --> 00:01:47,530
already done so in the introduction course.

35
00:01:47,530 --> 00:01:50,630
But once you've passed the second of those two courses,

36
00:01:50,630 --> 00:01:54,240
you'll earn your Windows Server Hybrid Administrator Associate

37
00:01:54,240 --> 00:02:00,000
badge, and that badge has a one‑year cert validity. Your renewal is free online.
