Summary

In this chapter, we looked at the features of AD DS 2022. Even though there are no changes from AD DS 2019, we looked at Microsoft's approach to PAM and why it is more important now than ever. There are many different things to be taken care of in an AD environment, which will be explained further in later chapters. AD DS helps to protect identity infrastructures from novel adversaries, as traditional techniques and technologies are no longer valid in the face of rising threats. We also explored the improvements made to time synchronization to maintain time accuracy across an AD domain.

In the next chapter, we are going to look at designing AD infrastructures.
