Windows PowerShell - Management of Active Directory

infrastructure

TARGET AUDIENCE
This 3 days long workshop is intended for:
 Administrators of Active Directory technology who want to automate tasks related to administration of AD
infrastructure (i.e. management of domains and forests, trust management, management of AD topology
and AD replication management and analysis) in order to make them more effective and less error prone
 Administrators who wants to convert their current ADSI based vbs or java scripts into PowerShell scripts
 Administrators or programmers who want just to learn as much as possible about AD technologies by
managing them programmatically on the low-level

BUSINESS NEEDS
This workshop is intended for both Active Directory administrators and programmers who want to implement the AD
infrastructure management related task by means of PowerShell scripting language or who just want to gain
deeper knowledge of these technologies by learning their programmatic management.
The workshop content is designed to cover all areas of AD infrastructure management and contains more than 90
reusable code examples of many operations.
All AD infrastructure management concepts are first thoroughly explained theoretically before the description of their
PowerShell based programmatic management proceeds. For each topic rich set of examples completely covering
given area of AD infrastructure management will be demonstrated.

BENEFITS
After completion of this workshop students will be able to use PowerShell to automate the tasks from following areas of
AD infrastructure management:

 Administration and management of domains, forests and domain controllers, their properties and FSMO roles
 Administration and management of domain trusts and their properties and monitoring of current operational
status of domain trusts
 Administration and management of all AD replication topology components
 Management and monitoring of AD replication process

WORKSHOP COURSEWARE
The workshop courseware is provided in both printed and electronic form and it can be used by students after the course
completion on daily basis as a graphical quick reference guide (both for PowerShell scripting language and AD
infrastructure management oriented technologies).

The courseware contains lots of pictures, schemas and diagrams that describe object models, technology concepts and
the map of the configuration partition that can be used to identify AD object that are targeted by particular management
tasks. The courseware also contain more than 90 examples of PowerShell code that can be reused in nearly cut-and-paste
manner.
