To get the most out of this book
To get the most out of the book, it helps to have basic knowledge of Windows Server and Active Directory.
Many recipes are written to lift an aging Active Directory environment to new heights. It helps in these cases to know the old protocols, such as NT LAN Manager (NTLM), but an open mind is a more valuable asset when engaging with the recipes.
Some recipes in this cookbook require significant hardware, so if you're staging changes in development, test, or acceptance environments, make sure you have the computational power and storage to do so.
If you are using the digital version of this book, we advise you to type the code yourself or access the code from the book's GitHub repository (a link is available in the next section). Doing so will help you avoid any potential errors related to the copying and pasting of code.
