Summary
Lesson 3 is devoted primarily to Active Directory, which is the most pervasive infrastructure service in Windows
Server 2008. Active Directory is involved in virtually every transaction conducted by computers on a network that
uses it. We will cover the basic structure and architecture of an Active Directory installation along with designing
and planning an Active Directory Infrastructure. We will also cover the installation and configuration of an Active
Directory domain controller. Towards the end of the chapter we will cover the use and assigning of certificates
through an Active Directory network.
