Lab Configuration
Our lab set-up requires that each student have a Windows Server 2008 R2 computer, configured as a standalone domain controller, and that the student know the Administrator login for their computer. It's acceptable for this computer to be running inside a virtual machine.
We can conduct the course with student's computers running Windows 7 or any other Windows version that supports Windows PowerShell V2; however, students will be unable to complete certain labs related to Active Directory administration.
