Creating and Administering User Accounts in Active Directory on Windows Server 2012

description
Info Level: Intermediate Presenter: Eli the Computer Guy Date Created: March 26, 2013 Length of Class: 16:10 Tracks Windows Server 2012 Prerequisites Building Your Own Network for a Computer Lab Introduction to Windows Server 2012 Installing Windows Server 2012 Navigation in Windows Server 2012 Introduction to Active Directory Directory Services Structure in Windows Server 2012 Introduction to Active Directory Infrastructure in Windows Server 2012 Basic DHCP Setup on Windows Server 2012 Introduction to Using DNS Server on Windows Server 2012 Adding Windows Computers to a Windows Server 2012 Domain Purpose of Class This class teaches students how to create and administer User Accounts in Active Directory on Windows Server 2012. Class Notes To Create/ Administer Accounts go to -- Server Manager -- Tools -- Active Directory Users and Computers "User Must Change Password at Next Login" forces users to change their password when they login. This is used when IT people reset users passwords to a default to force users to create their own passwords. "User cannot change password" is used generally for systems that are used by multiple people and you don't want a user locking out the other users. "Account Disabled" allows you to disable and account without deleting it. You can set accounts to automatically expire, and allow access only during certain hours. Resources
