353 - The Microsoft AD Tier Model explained

Microsoft has put the Active Directory Tier Model on GitHub, MIT-licensed, with a deployment engine, a drift auditor, and around 1,700 tests.

We start with that question, and also consider whether Active Directory is still worth your attention. (00:00) - Intro and catching up. (03:55) - Show content starts.
