Study Notes

Directory Partition and Configuration

Directory partition holds configuration info affecting the entire forest, including replication details between domain controllers.
Choose Windows Server 2019 Server Core if a GUI is unnecessary.
Schema attributes define stored object information (e.g., user name, password).
Security Principals define user resource access and permissions levels.
Active Directory automatically creates Administrator and User accounts.
Multimaster replication ensures automatic replication of changes to AD objects across domain controllers.
Group Policy is the best update configuration method for Server Core and all Windows domain computers.
Knowledge Consistency Checker (KCC) runs on every Domain Controller (DC) to determine replication topology.
The second DC is always configured as a Global Catalog (GC) server.
Server Core installation is suitable for the first server in a Windows domain.
Active Directory Recycle Bin can be enabled in the Active Directory Administrative Center (ADAC), though disabled by default.
dcpromo.exe is the preferred Active Directory installation method on Server Core.
By default, Windows Server 2019 installs only TCP/IPv4.
By default, Windows Server 2019 firewall doesn't block incoming ICMP Echo Requests.
