This is an installation report of a basic installation of Microsoft's Active Directory through the tool dcpromo. The settings are based on a small AD domain design and should be set to your own settings when installing in a production environment.

Cheatsheet Azure CLI
Summary: AzureCLI hints, tips, oneliners and best practices.

When looking for such snippets, look for the deploy keyword.
