In this module, we will explore advanced Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) components, focusing on trust configurations, conditional forwarding, and child domains. You will gain practical experience in configuring and deploying different trust types to enhance the connectivity and security between domains in a hybrid AD environment.

In this module, we will focus on managing Active Directory sites and replication. Through practical demos, you will learn to configure AD DS sites, site links, and subnets, optimizing replication strategies across your infrastructure. You will also explore the tools necessary for managing replication effectively across domains.

In this module, we will cover the management of users, groups, and organizational units (OUs) in AD DS. You will explore different approaches for managing users and groups, including PowerShell automation, and managing them in complex trust relationships or multi-forest environments.

In this module, we will explore how to integrate on-premises AD DS with Azure AD and Azure AD DS. You will learn to deploy Azure AD DS, manage hybrid identity solutions using Azure AD Connect, and synchronize AD environments, ensuring seamless operations across both on-premises and cloud-based directories.

In this module, we will delve into the administration of group policies and security settings within Active Directory. You will gain the skills needed to configure password policies, implement group policies in both AD DS and Azure AD DS, and utilize group policy preferences to enforce security standards across your hybrid IT environment.
