You are about to install your first Active Directory Domain .Where do you start?

A good place to start would be to attend the Microsoft Official Curriculum Course 2279, Planning, Implementing, and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Active Directory Infrastructure.

Although this may be your first domain, or you may be adding additional domains to your forest, proper planning PRIOR to deployment can save you a lot of headaches in the future.

Course 2279 take you beyond the basic single domain with a couple of domain controllers, and examines the proper planning and design for a successful, scalable AD deployment. Topics include the placement of Domain Controllers and the reasoning behind such placements, the use of the Active Directory design to lock down users’ environments with Group Policy, the use of Active Directory design to delegate administrative duties, Planning the DNS namespace, so critical to Active Directory functionality, domain and forest functional levels, trusts, software deployment, site design, Operations master roles, global catalog servers, and finally the maintenance of Active Directory.

New features found in the Windows 2003 functional level are discussed, and numerous command-line tools, some new, some old, are incorporated into the labs.

A valuable addition to any Administrator’s toolkit, Course 2279 helps to plan the Active Directory infrastructure correctly from the start, allowing for future scalability based on a solid foundation.
