This document provides an overview of Active Directory, including its logical and physical structures. Logically, Active Directory uses domains, organizational units (OUs), trees, and forests to organize objects in a hierarchical manner. Physically, it leverages sites and domain controllers to replicate data across network locations. Key Active Directory components include objects like users and groups, attributes that describe these objects, and the schema that defines object classes and permissible attributes.

This document provides an overview of Windows 2003 Active Directory. It discusses what Active Directory is, how to build and use its features, the objects it contains, and how to audit Active Directory. It also describes Active Directory's hierarchical structure of domains, trees, forests and trust relationships. The document outlines how to install Active Directory and use tools like DCPROMO. It explains how Active Directory integrates with DNS and is based on directory protocols like LDAP.

Active Directory is Microsoft's implementation of the X.500 directory service standard. It stores information about network resources and users in a centralized hierarchical database. This allows for centralized management of users, computers, applications and other resources. Active Directory uses LDAP, DNS and Kerberos for communication and authentication. It replicates information to multiple domain controllers to provide redundancy and high availability.

This document provides guidance for planning and designing an Active Directory infrastructure in Windows Server 2008. It outlines key decisions regarding the forest, domains, organizational units, domain controllers, sites and replication. The guidance aims to clarify the planning process and relate design options to business needs and technical considerations like performance, scalability and security.

Active Directory requires DNS to be installed and configured properly. The Active Directory Installation Wizard guides administrators through installing a new forest, domain, or child domain. Post-installation tasks include verifying DNS records and zones are created correctly and aging and scavenging are configured. Trust relationships allow communication between domains and forests and can be established manually as shortcut, external, cross-forest, or realm trusts.

This module introduces Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS). It covers the key components and concepts of AD DS, including domain controllers, domains, forests, organizational units, and replication. It also provides instructions on how to install AD DS and configure a server as a domain controller to establish a new Active Directory forest. A lab guides students through performing post-installation configuration tasks and installing a domain controller to create a single domain AD DS forest.

Active Directory is a centralized hierarchical directory database that contains information about all user accounts and shared network resources. It provides user logon authentication services and organizes and manages user accounts, computers, groups and network resources. Active Directory enables authorized users to easily locate network resources. It features include fully integrated security, easy administration using group policy, scalability to large networks, and flexibility through features like cross-forest trusts and site-to-site replication.

Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) has both physical and logical components. Physically, data is stored in the NTDS.dit file on domain controllers which replicate this data. Logically, the directory is partitioned with separate schema, configuration, domain and application partitions that each replicate independently. The schema defines object classes and attributes. Domains and domain trees group objects under a common namespace with transitive trust. Multiple domain trees make up a forest with a shared schema and configuration. Sites represent the physical network topology to optimize replication.

The document discusses critical services that must be running on a domain controller (DC) for it to function properly. These services include: DHCP client, file replication services (FRS), distributed file system replication (DFSR), DNS client, DNS server, Kerberos key distribution center (KDC), Netlogon, Windows Time, Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS), and Active Directory Web Services (AD WS). Interrupting many of these services can cause authentication issues, replication failures, name resolution problems, and other domain functionality issues. The Netlogon service in particular maintains secure communication and writes DNS records that allow domain members to locate DCs.

This document provides an overview of user and group account types and management in Active Directory. It discusses the three types of user accounts - local, domain, and built-in - and explains how domain accounts are stored centrally and replicated across domains. It also outlines the different types of groups - security, distribution, domain local, global, and universal - and how they can be nested to simplify permission assignments using the AGUDLP strategy. Finally, it lists several methods for automating user and group creation in Active Directory.

Active Directory is a directory service that provides a centralized location to store information about networked devices, services, and users. It implements authentication, authorization, and other services to securely manage access and share information across a network. Active Directory uses a hierarchical structure and replication to distribute directory data and updates between domain controllers, providing scalability and redundancy. It supports LDAP for application access and integrates with DNS for network name resolution.

Active Directory is a database that stores user accounts, passwords, and other directory information for an organization. It allows administrators to centrally manage authentication and authorization for users on the network. Active Directory improves security by consolidating user credentials in a single protected location rather than storing them individually on each device.

Active Directory is a centralized directory service that stores information about objects on a network. It includes a logical structure of domains, organizational units, trees, and forests. A global catalog provides a read-only central repository of information about objects. Administrative control and security can be applied to different levels of the structure through domains and organizational units.

Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) is an identity and access management solution that stores information about users and groups, authenticates identities using Kerberos authentication, and controls access. It consists of an Active Directory data store, domain controllers that perform authentication and other services, domains, forests, trees, and functional levels. Installing AD DS requires permissions, network configuration, server requirements, and following the installation process which can be done in advanced mode or from installation media. Domain controller roles include global catalog servers and operations masters, and time synchronization is provided by the PDC emulator and Windows Time service.

This document discusses various Group Policy settings in Windows Server 2008 including account policies, password policies, audit policies, folder redirection, offline files, disk quotas, and group policy refresh settings. It provides details on configuring fine-grained password policies, local security policies, and audit policy settings. Folder redirection and offline files are complementary settings that allow access to network files when offline. Disk quotas limit user storage amounts. Group policies refresh periodically and can be forced to refresh immediately.

Creating a naming standards document will help plan a consistent Active Directory environment that is easier to manage. Securing user accounts involves implementing a strong password policy and potentially introducing smart cards. Administrative tasks should be performed using standard user accounts and Run as administrator to elevate privileges temporarily. The OU structure should reflect business needs and allow delegation of administration. Permissions can be delegated using the Delegation of Control Wizard and verified or removed in object properties. Moving objects between OUs and containers within a domain uses the Move menu, drag-and-drop, or dsmove command.

Group Policy consists of user and computer settings that can be implemented during computer startup and user logon to customize the user environment, implement security guidelines, and simplify administration. Group Policies can be assigned to sites, domains, and OUs in Active Directory and contain settings for software installation, folder redirection, security, and more. The Group Policy Management Console is used to create and modify Group Policies, which are stored in the GPC and GPT and processed from local to site to domain to OU by default, though inheritance can be altered.

Folder redirection in Active Directory allows administrators to redirect users' special folders like Documents, Desktop, and Start Menu to centralized network locations. There are basic and advanced redirection modes that either redirect all users to the same location or allow specifying different locations for user groups. Redirecting folders centralizes data, improves data security and backup capabilities, and supports offline access to files. However, administrators must be careful of potential permission and access issues when redirecting folders.
