I have been working for a small software company (25 employees) for 6 years now. I recently decided I wanted to grow my professional IT knowledge and advance my career. Just some quick background facts on my experience level; I never worked on/with domain systems before. I am more of a software specialist at my company. Before this course I have never set one up. Most of my experience is using VPN access to other company networks through Cisco VPN connections or web portal access. I do have orcalVM experience as we use vertical machines, but nothing complex. Mostly dealing with local accounts and system settings. I found this course to be great! The instructor did a great job with his explanations on everything he was showing. He stayed on track and didn't deviate on any off topic or advanced task that was beyond MTA expectations. I highly recommend you follow his lab recommendations on using VM client to perform the lab. Really allows you to play and get hands on experience. I was worried there might be too much information, and the course would leave me feeling overwhelmed since my domain and server experience is limited. This wasn't the case at all. I personal feel this course is a GREAT choice for anyone with very limited experience with server or domains. Thank you Marious for all your hard work in putting this course together!

I get all my courses from Marious because I enjoy and understand his reasoning. Offcourse I would suggest not only using this lectures but also the advise and use the links he provides. Then go over to Microsoft and watch their free videos-Not as good but as you listen to them you can compare what you've learned from Marious. Thanks
