+
+## Windows Server
+
+Windows Server is a Microsoft operating system designed to manage networks, 
+users, and applications in a business environment. 
+It provides services such as file sharing, security management, 
+and server hosting to support reliable and centralized IT operations.
+
+
+## Active Directory
+
+Active Directory (AD) is a directory service developed by Microsoft 
+that helps organizations manage and organize users, computers, 
+and other resources within a network. 
+It allows administrators to control access, enforce security policies, 
+and manage permissions from a central location. 
+
+## Import-Module
+
+Before using active Directory with Powershell we have to imports the cmdlet
+
+```powershell
+Import-Module ActiveDirectory
+Get-Command -Module ActiveDirectory
+```
+
+## Get-Help 
+
+To see all the options for one command 
+
+```powershell
+Get-Help New-ADUser
+```
+
+## OU
+
+An Organizational Unit (OU) is a container in Active Directory used 
+to organize users, computers, and groups within a domain. 
+It helps administrators manage resources more efficiently by grouping objects based on departments, 
+roles, or locations. 
+
+### New-ADOrganizationalUnit 
+
+```powershell
+New-ADOrganizationalUnit -Name "ROCK" -Path "DC=mrsh,DC=org"
+New-ADOrganizationalUnit -Name "Staff" -Path "OU=ROCK DC=mrsh,DC=org"
+New-ADOrganizationalUnit -Name "Students" -Path "OU=ROCK DC=mrsh,DC=org"
+New-ADOrganizationalUnit -Name "LedZep" -Path "OU=Students OU=ROCK DC=mrsh,DC=org"
+New-ADOrganizationalUnit -Name "Cream" -Path "OU=Students OU=ROCK DC=mrsh,DC=org"
+New-ADOrganizationalUnit -Name "Who" -Path "OU=Students OU=ROCK DC=mrsh,DC=org"
+New-ADOrganizationalUnit -Name "Hendrix" -Path "OU=Students OU=ROCK DC=mrsh,DC=org"
+```
+
+## Users
+
+In Active Directory, users are directory objects that represent individual 
+people or service accounts and are used to authenticate 
+and authorize access to network resources. 
+Each user account contains attributes such as a username, password, group memberships, 
+and profile information, which allow administrators to manage 
+identity, security, and permissions centrally. 
+Through Active Directory, users can log on to domain-joined computers, 
+access shared files, applications, and services, and inherit 
+permissions based on their group assignments, making user management more efficient,
+secure, and scalable in enterprise environments.
+
+### New-ADUser
+
+For creating a new user
+
+```powershell
+New-ADUser -Name "Jimmy Page" -SamAccountName "jpage" -UserPrincipalName "jpage@mrsh.org" 
+`-Path "OU=Rock , OU=Students, OU=LedZep, DC=mrsh, DC=org" -AccountPassword (ConvertTo-SecureString "Music123" -AsPlainText -force) -Enabled $true
+```
+
+## Get-ADUser
+
+For fetching informations about a user
+
+```powershell
+Get-ADUser -Identity "jpage"
+Get-Aduser -Filter 'Enabld -eq $true'
+
+#setting a varialbe to a user
+
+$ADUser = Get-ADUser -Identity "jpage"
+$ADUser.UserPrincipalName
+
+# return
+# jpage@mrsh.org
+
+$ADUser = Get-Aduser -Identity "jpage" | Select-Object Name,SamAccountName,UserPrincipalName
+```
