Lab: Managing Users and Groups in Active Directory

1. Create Groups

Create two new groups: HR and ENG.

Group Name: HR
Group Name: ENG

2. Create Users and Assign to Groups

Create three new users and assign them to respective groups:

User: hr_user      → Group: HR
User: eng_user     → Group: ENG
User: both_user    → Group: HR, ENG

3. Set Passwords

Assign passwords for each user:

hr_user      → Password: hr_user
eng_user     → Password: eng_user
both_user    → Password: both_user

4. Create Home Directories

Create directories for each group and verify ownership:

C:\Users\HR
C:\Users\ENG

Verify permissions in ADUC or via File Explorer, adjust with:

Right-click folder → Properties → Security → Add/Modify groups

5. Verify Group Membership

Open the user properties in ADUC to ensure they belong to the correct groups:

• hr_user → HR
• eng_user → ENG
