Through our unrivalled Active Directory training you will learn how to take a proactive approach to designing and maintaining the Active Directory for high-availability. Should a system component fail you will be in premier position to rapidly troubleshoot and recover from potentially disastrous incidents.

In this technically detailed two-day seminar you will learn the role and dependencies of all the Active Directory components. We will examine potential failure points and show you how to minimize their impact through best practice design combined with well honed recovery techniques. You will learn best practices for server and role placement and how to take a proactive approach to backup and disaster recovery. You will gain the ability to minimize the impact of a series of incidents with scenarios that range from the loss of a single domain controller through to a catastrophic forest failure.
