Understand the role of TCP/IP, WINS, DHCP, DNS, and LDAP in the Active Directory environment; walk through planning physical and logical structure; then master user and group management, access control, and group policies. Learn how to secure Active Directory; then maximize its performance in far-flung networks through the effective use of replication.
