This room will introduce the basic concepts and functionality provided by Active Directory.

If you’ve ever logged into a work computer, accessed shared files, connected to office Wi-Fi, or used a company email, you’ve interacted with Active Directory, even if you didn’t know it.

Active Directory quietly sits behind most Windows-based organizations, controlling who can log in, what they can access, and how systems behave across an entire network. From small offices to banks, schools, hospitals, and government agencies, it’s the pillar that keeps everything organized and secure.
