    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.
