Summary

This is the end of the introductory chapter on Active Directory fundamentals. I am sure most of you are already aware of most of the functions of AD DS, but refreshing your knowledge about Active Directory components and their operations before we dive deep into the advanced topics wasn't in vain. In this chapter, we looked into the future of identity management, and then we covered Active Directory's hybrid identity role, Active Directory objects, GUID and SID values, and DNs.

In Chapter 2, Active Directory Domain Services 2022, you will learn about new features and enhancements to AD DS 2022, specifically about the approach to protect digital identities from modern security threats.
