DNS stands for Domain Name System. It's like a phone book for the internet, translating human-readable domain names (like google.com) into computer-friendly IP addresses.

A DNS record is an entry in a DNS database that maps a domain name to an IP address or other information about the domain.

The TTL (Time to Live) value in a DNS record tells other servers how long to cache the record information before checking for updates.

The Global Catalog is a special directory service in Active Directory that stores a copy of all objects in the forest, allowing you to find any user or computer across domains.

A forest is the highest level in the Active Directory hierarchy, containing multiple domains. It represents a collection of independent AD domains that trust each other.

Group Policy Objects (GPOs) target specific objects in Active Directory, such as users, computers, or organizational units (OUs).

If no other server has the Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) role, it's automatically installed on the server where you initially install the role.

A single domain structure can become inefficient and difficult to manage when the number of users, computers, and resources grows significantly.

Use the 'Remove-WindowsFeature' PowerShell cmdlet to remove the DNS Server role from a server.

Windows Server 2019 doesn't define a 'Power User' account type.

A 'Clean Installation' of Windows Server 2019 is a fresh install on a new disk partition, without upgrading from a previous Windows version.

The 'Directory Services Restore Mode' (DSRM) allows restoring deleted Active Directory components by booting the server in a special mode.

The 'Administrative Templates' folder under Policies in Computer Configuration contains settings for Control Panel, Network, Printers, System, and Windows Components.

A Windows Server installation without the graphical user interface (GUI), offering a lightweight, command-line-based experience.

They define the types of data stored in Active Directory objects, like first name, last name, or password.

Active Directory's method of ensuring changes to objects are automatically copied to all domain controllers, maintaining consistency.

The Knowledge Consistency Checker (KCC) runs on every domain controller, determining the best replication paths to maintain a healthy Active Directory.

A Read-Only Domain Controller (RODC) is a domain controller that cannot process modifications to the directory, ideal for remote or sensitive locations.

A container within Active Directory that holds configuration information affecting an entire forest, like domain controller replication settings.

Use the 'DISM /online /Set-Edition:' command to switch to a different edition after installation.

This partition holds the definitions for all object types within the Active Directory forest, defining their attributes.

The default path for DNS files in a server is usually %systemroot%\System32\dns. The %systemroot% directory itself is usually C:\Windows, making the full location C:\Windows\System32\dns.

The TTL (Time to Live) value in a DNS record determines how long other DNS servers should cache the record's information before requesting an update from the authoritative server. This helps optimize DNS resolution by reducing unnecessary requests.

The Global Catalog is a special directory service in Active Directory. It stores a copy of all objects in the forest, allowing you to search across domains for any user, computer, or group, regardless of their location.

An SRV (Service Location) record is used to locate servers that offer specific services. It maps a service name (like _ldap._tcp) to an IP address and port number. This allows applications to find the correct server to access the required service.

A type A record is used to map a domain name to an IP address, which allows computers to find the server hosting a website or service.

Group Policy Objects (GPOs) target specific objects in Active Directory like Users, Computers, or Organizational Units (OUs) to determine which devices and users they'll apply to.

If no other server has the Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) role, it's automatically installed on the server where you first install the role.

The primary container object for organizing and managing resources in a domain is an Organizational Unit (OU).

The 'Infrastructure Master' operations master role is responsible for maintaining compatibility with older Windows NT servers.

The Global Catalog is a special directory service in Active Directory that stores a copy of all objects in the forest, allowing you to search across domains for any user, computer, or group, regardless of their location.

These are tasks performed after the initial installation of a software, operating system, or application, ensuring its proper functioning and integration with other systems within an organization. They are typically involved with configuring the new environment, testing functionalities, and setting up necessary user accounts and permissions.

Intrasite replication is the process of replicating changes between domain controllers within the same site. The time it takes depends on several factors, including the size of the Active Directory environment, network bandwidth, and the amount of data being replicated. In general, intrasite replication is relatively quick, typically completing in a matter of minutes or hours.

Group Policy settings are applied in a specific order to ensure consistency and prevent conflicting configurations. The order is as follows: 1. Local machine policy. 2. Site policy. 3. Domain policy. 4. Organizational Unit (OU) policy. If a setting is defined in multiple policies, the last one applied takes precedence.

If you're installing Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) and no other server has the role already, it will be automatically installed on the server where you begin the installation process.

A single domain structure can be less effective for large companies as it gets harder to manage many users, computers, and resources in a single location.

To remove the DNS server role from a server, use the Remove-WindowsFeature PowerShell command.

The 'Administrative Templates' folder inside 'Policies' under the Computer Configuration node of a GPO holds settings for things like the Control Panel, Network, Printers, System, and Windows components.

Domain controllers in a domain that handle universal group membership information are the only Domain Controllers in the entire forest.

To rename a computer, you'll need to use the 'Rename-Computer' command. If you need to rename the computer from 'Pittsburgh' to 'Chicago,' you'd run: Rename-Computer -NewName Chicago -oldname Pittsburgh.

A multi-domain structure can introduce complexity and potentially slow down communication between domains in certain scenarios.

The Organizational Unit (OU) is the main container object for arranging and managing resources within a domain. This makes it easier to apply policies and control access.

The fully qualified domain name (FQDN) for the new forest root is required during Active Directory installation. It includes all parts of the name, like 'example.com'.

These settings determine which Active Directory features are available for users and computers. They also define the compatibility level of the domain controllers in the forest.

During Active Directory installation, DNS delegation allows Windows to create the necessary records on the DNS server to support the new domain.

A NetBIOS domain name is needed for backward compatibility with older systems that don't use DNS.

These important folders contain Active Directory data, installation logs, and shared files for the network.

Having at least two domain controllers in a domain is recommended for fault tolerance (backup in case of failure) and load balancing (sharing work).

The process of adding a new domain controller to an existing domain is similar to the initial installation. The key change is selecting 'Add a domain controller to an existing domain' instead of 'Add a new forest'.

When installing an additional domain controller, you need to decide whether to install a DNS server role on it or not. The decision is based on the specific needs and design of the Active Directory environment.

A system that stores information about a network and provides tools for retrieving and managing it.

Microsoft's directory service that manages users, computers, and other network resources.

A computer running Windows Server that manages a specific domain within Active Directory.

A container within Active Directory for grouping users, computers, and resources.

A domain added to an existing forest with a completely separate naming structure from any other domains in the forest.

A tool used to manage Active Directory tasks like creating users, groups, computer accounts, and managing organizational units.

The site where a new domain controller should be placed.

A blueprint defining the structure and types of data stored in the Active Directory database. It dictates the organization and what information is stored about each object.

Define the types of objects that can be stored in Active Directory, like users, computers, groups, or printers.

An object that houses other objects, used to organize and manage resources in Active Directory.

The core logical structure in Active Directory, containing other container objects like OUs and leaf objects, representing the administrative boundary for a specific group of users and computers.

An object that doesn't contain other objects, representing individual entities like users, computers, or groups.

A special container object in Active Directory used for default locations of specific types of objects, like user accounts or computer accounts.

A Folder object is a pre-defined container with specific purposes, like 'Computers' or 'Users.' OUs are more flexible, designed for custom organization within a domain.

OUs allow granular control over policies and permissions for different groups of users and computers, making management more efficient and secure.

User Configuration policies apply to individual users within the GPO's scope, while Computer Configuration policies affect all computers in the container where the GPO is linked.

The User Configuration node contains three folders similar to Computer Configuration: Software Settings, Windows Settings, and Administrative Templates. These folders provide settings for managing applications, user environments, and security, respectively.

Group Policy Objects (GPOs) are applied in a hierarchical order: 1. Local Computer, 2. Site, 3. Domain, and 4. Organizational Unit (OU). Policies not explicitly defined are ignored, and the last policy defined takes precedence.

A directory service is a database that stores information about network resources, users, and computers, making it easier to manage them across the network.

Directory services allow central management of network resources, users, and computers, making it much easier to administer a network.

Active Directory is based on the X.500 standard and Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), which allow communication with directory services.

The first domain created in a network when you install Active Directory Domain Services (ADDS) becomes the forest root domain, the foundation of your Active Directory infrastructure.

Container objects organize and hold other objects, like users, computers, and groups. Leaf objects represent actual accounts, resources, or settings.

The AD Recycle Bin is a feature you enable in Active Directory Administrative Center (ADAC) to recover deleted objects, but once enabled, it can't be disabled.

Large organizations might require multiple domains, trees, and forests to manage their resources. These components help organize the directory service for better administration and scalability.

A Group Policy Object (GPO) is a set of rules that administrators use to control settings on computers and users within a domain. Think of it as a set of instructions that determine how users and computers should behave.

A user account in Active Directory represents a person or service that can access network resources. It stores information like their username, password, and group memberships.

A computer account in Active Directory represents a computer that's part of the domain. It's used to identify, authenticate, and manage the computer.

This zone holds the main, writable copy of all information about a domain. It's considered authoritative for the data.

A read-only copy of the Primary Zone's data, used to distribute the information across multiple locations.

A group is a collection of user accounts that share common permissions or rights. They help simplify administration by applying settings to multiple users at once.

Permissions define what specific resources users can access and what actions they can perform, such as reading, writing, or deleting.

Rights specify what higher-level actions a user can perform on a computer or network, such as logging in, shutting down the system, or installing software.

Replication ensures that all domain controllers have a consistent copy of the Active Directory database. Changes are automatically copied between them.

Directory partitions divide the Active Directory database into different sections, each holding specific types of data.

This partition stores information about all objects within a particular domain, including user accounts, groups, and computers.

A trust relationship defines how security principals from one domain can access resources in another domain.
