In some lectures the instructor scared me a lot. I thought he had hacked into my brain and read my questions and memories about joining computers to AD domains. I wish I had learned the contents of this course earlier, so I needed no try and errors. This course is a must for all Net Admins.

The best. Fully expressed, completely practical, and thoroughly explained. In comparison to other academics in this field, Amir Amirchoupani makes you fully understand the depth of what's going on logically with smooth and easy to learn ways and means.
