Building a Secure Active Directory

EARLY ACCESS

Learn How to Build and Harden AD — Step-by-Step

Active Directory is at the heart of your Windows infrastructure — and attackers know it.

This hands-on course teaches you how to build, secure, and harden Active Directory using Microsoft best practices — from a clean demo setup to a fully secured domain environment.

🚀 You’ll create your own AD lab from scratch, configure it using modern security principles, and apply critical defenses like Kerberos armoring, tiered administration, LAPS, and more.

Whether you're managing AD in production or just getting started, this course gives you the real-world knowledge to secure your infrastructure — properly.

No online labs — you’ll build your own Hyper-V environment (use what you prefer), so you truly learn by doing.

What You'll Learn

✔ Build a secure Active Directory environment from scratch

✔ Harden domain controllers using Microsoft's best practices

✔ Implement a secure tiering model for privileged access

✔ Deploy defenses like LAPS, auditing, Kerberos armoring & more

✔ Simulate a real-world domain: DCs, WSUS, File Server, Workstations

✔ Learn critical AD concepts that directly apply to production

Who This Course Is For

🎯 System administrators, IT pros, and security teams who want to:

― Build deep AD security knowledge

― Understand what real AD hardening looks like

― Reduce privilege escalation & lateral movement risks

― Create a secure reference lab for testing or validation

🛑 Not for beginners — some basic AD/Windows knowledge required.

System Requirements

This course is fully hands-on, requiring you to build a lab environment on your own hardware. I chose to guide students through building their own lab using Hyper-V or VMware because it’s free, reusable, and more realistic. You’ll have full control of your environment — and you can keep it even after finishing the course for testing and experimenting further.

💻 Recommended setup:

● 32 GB RAM

● External SSD for VMs

● Ability to run 3–4 VMs at once

―Each with 2 vCPUs and 4 GB RAM (dynamic)

● vCPU example:

―Intel Xeon Silver 4110 CPU @ 2.10 GHz

―Total Cores: 8

―Total Threads: 16

―Equals 128 vCPUs

● 230 GB total disk space for all virtual machines

✅ Works best on Hyper-V, but you can adapt it to VMware or other platforms.

If you're unsure whether your hardware can handle it — contact us and we'll help you evaluate.

You can also run a smaller version (2 VMs) for limited testing.
