MD-100 Windows 10

---

I have watched your Windows 10 MD-100 content. Do you have anything else regarding the MD-100. One of the things I find difficult with the course I watched is that the there is a lot of reference to active directory, server stuff, etc etc. none of which the MD-100 Skills Measured pdf mentions. It wants you to know about "manage LOCAL groups" and "manage LOCAL users", this is just an example, there seems to be a fair bit of this course is not touching on what the exam objectives that Microsoft put out, from a local point of view.
I get that the information talked about is what more than likely will be helpful in the real world, but it will not be helpful to pass this MD-100 exam.

Hello @James-Casteel ,

There is an episode titled "Manage Local Users and Groups" that should be what you are looking for.

Remember, managing local users and groups isn't just about creating a local user. In an enterprise environment, we need to manage local users and groups on many (100's or 1000's of client machines) Much of this will be done using Group Policy (restricted groups for example) and in today's environments, using Microsoft Intune.

If you have any specific questions, don't hesitate to ask.

I wish the MD-100 objectives would give a little bit more info as to what they are asking for. I believe what you teach in the MD-100 is way more applicable to the real world, I just wasn't sure if the exam would cover any of server/AD side of things. Thank you for the response!

Hey @James-Casteel

You are not alone, it has always been a difficult task as an instructor to interpret what Microsoft means with some of their objectives.

There may be a few questions where knowledge of the server side of things would be helpful, but not enough to keep you from passing the exam. If you have time, you can watch some of the server courses, like 70-742: Identity with Windows Server 2016. Even if you are not ready to study for the 70-742, hearing the terminology and concepts might help solidify some of the concepts in the MD-100.
