Who this book is for

Active Directory can be overwhelming, but the straightforward recipes in this cookbook break it down into easy-to-follow tasks, backed by substantial real-world experience and clear explanations of what's going on under the hood.

This cookbook offers essential recipes for day-to-day Active Directory and Azure AD administration for both novices in managing Active Directory and Azure AD, and seasoned administrators with several Active Directory migrations and consolidations under their belts.

Because today's identity in the world of Microsoft technologies is no longer about just on-premises Active Directory, this book also offers three chapters with recipes for Azure AD, as well as an entire chapter dedicated to Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS).

Whether you just need a hand, want to take out the guesswork, or have a read-up before messing it up, this book helps admins at each stage of their careers to make the right choices, check the right boxes, and automate the repeatable tasks that become tedious after some time.
