Course Overview

This course focuses on the skills required to effectively audit Active Directory. Using a Cloud-based Lab, each participant will have their own virtualized Windows Server 2016 Domain Controller and Windows 10 Workstation to practice the concepts and techniques learned during the class with a series of 15 hands-on labs. Output from each of the labs will be incorporated into an Excel spreadsheet. This spreadsheet can be used as the basis for an audit program after the class is completed. Separate sheets in the Auditing Active Directory Excel Spreadsheet summarize how to obtain Active Directory data using PowerShell scripts, a place to store samples of the PowerShell output, and items to review in the output. Participants can email their completed spreadsheet to take with them after the class with lab notes and PowerShell Scripts. The course provides a practical methodology for auditing and securing Active Directory, attacks against Active Directory, and how to protect against those attacks. Audit techniques are designed to make Active Directory more secure and difficult to hack. The last day of class includes a role-playing exercise to put into practice the skills learned earlier...
