  1. Challenge

    Get Started in the Lab Environment

    Here are the initial instructions and explanation of the lab environment. Read this while your environment is busy creating itself from nothing. Yes, this violates physics; we know. How fun!

  2. Challenge

    Manage Windows Users Using GUI Tools

    To begin the lab, you will examine an existing Active Directory domain. You will create an organizational unit to contain the user objects for the domain, and create user and group objects.

  3. Challenge

    Manage Windows Users Using PowerShell

    Next you will manage users and groups using Windows PowerShell. You will add new users to the domain, add users to groups, and perform basic reporting using the PowerShell CLI.

  4. Challenge

    Perform Domain Join and Unjoin

    To wrap up the lab, you will use the GUI to delegate permissions to a group to its members to join computers to the Globomantics.co domain. You will then join a computer to the domain using a non-Domain Admin user that is a member of this group.
