Advanced Active Directory and GPOs with Windows Server 2025

Duration: 2 days Dates: 7 December 2026 8 March 2027 21 June 2027 6 September 2027

This course provides the knowledge needed to plan, implement and manage an advanced Active Directory domain (AD DS) under Windows Server 2025. Afterwards, the topics of “sites and services” and “trusts” will hold no more mysteries for you.

The focus is on the theoretical fundamentals, the correct set-up and various administrative tasks of Active Directory, as well as the implementation of sites and services, trusts and Group Policy. You will also make your existing Active Directory infrastructure highly available with additional domain controllers and gain an insight into PowerShell.

You can apply this knowledge directly in your day-to-day work in network, server or IT support administration.
