We’ll begin with a FortiManager Update, highlighting the latest features and enhancements, to keep you up to speed with what’s new and what’s next.

Then we’ll dive into one of the most critical—and often overlooked—aspects of FortiManager: the distinction between the Device Database (Device DB) and the ADOM Database (ADOM DB).

Understanding how these databases work is key to mastering FortiManager operations. It unlocks the logic behind features like Workspace, Workflow Mode, and Change Management, and it’s essential for diagnosing and solving real-world configuration issues.

We’ll walk through the concepts with a dedicated introductory deck, then move into hands-on labs where you’ll learn how to operate both DBs using:
    •    FortiManager GUI
    •    CLI Scripts
    •    CLI Configuration Views
    •    FortiManager CLI

By the end of this session, you’ll not only understand how FortiManager stores, stages, and applies changes—but you’ll be equipped to troubleshoot complex issues with confidence and precision.
