Active Directory & IT Security Webinar Series

Active Directory: Overhaul and Clean-up

An efficient and clean Active Directory is key to a secure and well performing IAM solution. Many administrators take the approach that “if it is not broken, don’t fix it.” This is a great approach for maintaining connectivity for users, but is also a breeding ground for attacks and inappropriate access to your data. In this webinar Derek will show you how to clean up your AD objects to protect them from attacks. In this webinar you will learn:

• How to search for inactive objects.
• Which user objects need immediate attention before they are attacked.
• How to automate the clean-up of AD objects.

Active Directory: User Account Automation and Security

Most Active Directory administrators are looking for ways to automate as many routine tasks as possible. Unfortunately, the only solution that Microsoft provides for this is PowerShell. With efficiency, security, and assurance as key pillars for automating tasks, PS might not be the ideal solution for most organizations and admins. In this webinar MVP Derek Melber will guide you through the power of automating user creation and modifications, without the need for any scripting or cleaning up errant changes that occur in AD with PS. In this webinar you will learn:

• How to leverage user creation templates.
• Why user creation templates add levels of security.
• Where modification templates provide ultimate control over user accounts.

We will discover the proper ways to configure, report, and monitor privileges to ensure you have a secure AD environment. In this webinar you will learn:

In this webinar, you will learn:

• How Microsoft technologies control temporary groups and privileges.
