Systems administration is the field of IT that’s responsible for maintaining reliable computers systems in a multi-user environment. In this course, you’ll learn about the infrastructure services that keep all organizations, big and small, up and running. We’ll deep dive on cloud so that you’ll understand everything from typical cloud infrastructure setups to how to manage cloud resources. You'll also learn how to manage and configure servers and how to use industry tools to manage computers, user information, and user productivity. Finally, you’ll learn how to recover your organization’s IT infrastructure in the event of a disaster. By the end of this course you’ll be able to: ● utilize best practices for choosing hardware, vendors, and services for your organization ● understand how the most common infrastructure services that keep an organization running work, and how to manage infrastructure servers ● understand how to make the most of the cloud for your organization ● manage an organization’s computers and users using the directory services, Active Directory, and OpenLDAP ● choose and manage the tools that your organization will use ● backup your organization’s data and know how to recover your IT infrastructure in the case of a disaster ● utilize systems administration knowledge to plan and improve processes for IT environments...

This is a course which I enjoyed. It gave a good insight of the learning methodologies which we have often heard of but not given due importance. Also, the brain facts is cool :) My 5/5 to this course

The best course so far. I feel like this course actually showed us things we would be doing day to day in the workplace. It's nice to problem solve since that will probably be a big chunk of the job.

Dear Instructor, There's a Missing coverage of Azure AD (different from AD) for O365 and on-prem devices . It's not about just Azure per se, it's more about why despite the length of entire course on active directory, there was no mention on Azure AD. The course was even extended to talk about mobile devices like smartphones (iOS, Android) , and the even the open-source OpenLDAP protocol (which is hardly used since most network PCs should be windows OS >99% of the time and therefore administrators would typically just use Microsoft's own Active Directory for account and permission mgmt, little point to use OpenLDAP : I quote this from Coursera Another popular directory service that's used today is the free and open source service OpenLDAP. OpenLDAP, which stands for lightweight directory access protocol operates very similar to Active Directory. XXXX OpenLDAP can be used on any operating system, including Linux, macOS, even Microsoft Windows. However, since Active Directory is Microsoft's propriety software for directory services, we recommend that you use that on Windows instead of OpenLDAP. But its helpful to know that OpenLDAP is open source so it can be used on a variety of platforms. ) Yet the course didn't even touch on Azure AD. ("AAD") , or even using "AD" to give permissions to Office 365 (which everyone uses) . I think people will get confused between "AD" and "AAD" ; or maybe the group permissions in windows registry and/or the domain-OU groupings and RBAC roles can be ported over from "AD" to "AAD" ,and how "AD" relates to O365. What does not help is that they mentioned "RBAC roles" in "AD" , but Microsoft's Azure also has a term "RBAC roles" in "AAD", so are they really different? Or the lines between cloud computing and on-prem network PCs are blurred here? Further, even O365 is a SaaS Cloud solution. As you can see, cloud computing is so widely used everywhere and a "must-have", yet omitted completely in this course. (edited) [2:16 PM] Their focus on "active directory" is so restricted to "physical PC on-prem permissions", so it's also strange why no mention on Office 365 , OneDrive? This course is emphasized (by google) as catered for "IT Support Specialist Aspirants" , and the course's aim is to groom IT support specialists as technical experts . But IT support specialists as technical experts can't possibly not know a thing about Cloud Computing and relationship with Directory services/Active Directories. So the omission is quite conspicuous. I heard that Azure AD can be used to sync with and control permissions on on-prem network devices too , not just "Azure in-the-cloud resources" , and even O365 applications , OneDrive etc. But the reverse AD-> Azure AD may not be possible. For example, "AD" cannot be used to organize and control O365 permissions? Azure AD seems to be more powerful than the on-prem "AD" covered in this course. Anybody, big or small business, home business or home user can get an Azure cloud (blob) storage , and I also use Azure logic apps, Azure key vault, Azure VM , Azure Databricks , O365 , OneDrive etc --so I'm finding that misunderstanding the difference between "AD" and "Azure AD -AAD" , has major consequences on my work. Thanks for taking this feedback into consideration
