As the title says this question is about:
INTRODUCTION TO ACTIVE DIRECTORY - AD Administration: Guided Lab Part I: Create Users
The instructions are as follows:
Task 1: Manage Users
Our first task of the day includes adding a few new-hire users into AD. We are just going to create them under the "inlanefreight.local" scope, drilling down into the "Corp > Employees > HQ-NYC > IT " folder structure for now. Once we create our other groups, we will move them into the new folders. You can utilize the Active Directory PowerShell module (New-ADUser), the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in, or MMC to perform these actions.
NOTE: I found the Intro to AD to be rather disorienting as it was 98% new to me.
I will use New-ADUser.
I understand how and why we run the CMDLET with properties however I don’t understand the nesting/hierarchy. Specifically: “We are just going to create them under the "inlanefreight.local" scope, drilling down into the "Corp > Employees > HQ-NYC > IT " folder structure for now.”
Where are the users created by default? How do I set their scope? specifically what’s going on with inlanefreight.local and Corp>Employees>HQ-NYC>IT?
I hope this is clear enough for you all to begin to assist. I think with the first level of help then I can dig down and ask the right question(s).
Thanks in advance,
Francesco
