    Study Notes

    Active Directory Directory Services

    • Active Directory is a directory service that allows you to manage users, computers, and other network resources.
    • The process of granting a user access only to the resources they are permitted to use is called authorization.
    • Authentication allows you to check a user's identity against a database and allows them to access the network.
    • LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) defines the format of the queries that Active Directory clients send to domain controllers.
    • The basic classes of Active Directory objects are container objects and leaf objects.
    • Container objects include domains and organizational units.
    • Leaf objects represent individual users, computers, and resources.
    • The Active Directory schema defines the structure of the directory.
    • This includes what objects exist and what attributes are associated with each object.
    • Organizational Units (OUs) are the next level of container objects under a domain.
    • OUs are used to organize users and computers into logical groups and they inherit policies and permissions from their parent objects.
    • Active Directory has a naming convention that mirrors the DNS (Domain Name System).
    • Bidirectional trust relationships between domains allow users in one domain to access resources in another domain within the same domain tree.
    • Multiple-master replication minimizes problems in database management over slow WAN links (Wide Area Network).
    • Each domain controller in a domain replicates its database to other controllers, allowing for changes to be synchronized.
    • Domain controllers must be registered in DNS for computers on the network to be able to find them.

    Installing Domain Controllers

    • Domain controllers can be installed using the Add Roles and Features Wizard in Server Manager.
    • Installation requires you to configure the DNS server and supply the password for Directory Services Restore Mode (DSRM).
    • You can also use PowerShell to install domain controllers.
    • The cmdlet Install-AddsDomainController is used to install a domain controller to an existing domain.
    • The cmdlet Install-AddsForest is used to create a new forest.
    • To remove a domain controller, you can use the Remove Roles and Features Wizard in Server Manager.
    • To demote a domain controller, you can use the Uninstall-ADDSDomainController PowerShell cmdlet.

    Active Directory Sites

    • An Active Directory site is a collection of subnets with good connectivity.
    • This helps ensure that the replication process is efficient between domain controllers.
    • Sites are created to control the traffic passing over slow WAN links.
    • The site topology is manually configured based on WAN bandwidth and transmission speed.
    • Sites provide a geographical division within the Active Directory network.

    Functional Levels

    • The functional level of an Active Directory forest determines which features are supported by the forest.
    • The functional level is determined by the lowest version of Windows Server running on any of the domain controllers in the forest.
    • You can upgrade the functional level of a forest by upgrading the domain controllers to a newer version of Windows Server.
    • The global catalog is an index of all objects in an Active Directory forest.
    • Clients use the global catalog to find objects that are not in their local domain.

    Important Considerations

    • Groups are used to organize users and computers for security purposes.
    • Groups have no hierarchical association with the domain's tree structure.
    • OUs are used to organize users and computers into logical groups based on the structure of your organization.
    • OUs inherit policies and permissions from their parent objects.
    • To confirm if a domain controller has been registered in the DNS, you can use the dcdiag /test:registerindns /dnsdomain:\ /v command.
    • The SRV resource record enables clients to locate domain controllers and other vital AD DS services.

    Managing Active Directory

    • Windows Intune and Azure are cloud-based solutions that can be used to manage Active Directory.
    • Office 365 is a cloud-based suite of applications that can be integrated with Active Directory.
