Description

The purpose of this course is to prepare you to automate time-consuming administrative tasks with the help of PowerShell.

The primary audience for this course is individuals who want to become an Exchange server administrator in an enterprise environment. Also, individuals who are assuming a new role requiring skills to configure, manage, and support Microsoft Exchange Server and Office Exchange Online with Powershell.

Distribution Groups are collections of users, computers, contacts, and other groups. They are typically used only for e-mail applications. Security Groups, on the other hand, are used to grant access to resources and as e-mail distribution lists. Using nesting, you can add a group to a group. Group nesting consolidates member accounts and reduces replication traffic. Windows NT did not support Distribution Groups within the OS, but they are supported in all versions of Active Directory. Distribution Groups cannot be listed in DACLs in any version of Windows, which means they cannot be used to define permissions on resources and objects, although they can be used in DACLs at the application layer.
