Study Notes
Active Directory Objects
- Active Directory is made up of various object types defined by "classes".
- Schema controls the types of objects that can be created.
- Analogy: Car manufacturer (schema) creates models (classes).
- Objects have properties (e.g., color, features).
- Schema is a list of possible objects (Users, Groups, OUs).
- Objects contain specific properties according to their class.
- Properties can be added or removed by extending the schema.
Leaf Objects
- Examples are User Accounts.
- Domain users can logon to any computer in the domain, with permissions.
- Need at least first name and logon name.
- Administrator accounts are built-in for domain administration.
Group Accounts
- Simplify management of users, computers, or other groups.
- Assign permissions to groups of objects at once.
- Objects must be members of specified groups.
Computer Objects
- Computers need accounts to be part of a domain.
- Can be pre-set or added to the domain when joined.
Organizational Units (OUs)
- Containers to organize objects (users, groups, computers) in Active Directory.
- Similar to folders in a file system.
- Used for applying policies to groups of similar objects.
- Can contain other organizational units (sub-OUs).
- Represents hierarchy and logical groupings.
- Manage collections of objects in a consistent way.
- Used to delegate permissions for administering groups of objects.
- Apply policies consistently.
Domains
- Basic policy and security objects.
- Require a domain controller.
- Act as replication boundaries. Replicate data between controllers.
- Represented by a triangle.
- Administrative boundary for applying policies to groups.
- Replication boundary between domain controllers.
- Authentication and authorization boundary, limiting resource access.
Tree
- Collection of one or more domains sharing a contiguous namespace.
- Also shares the root domain's name.
- Can have child domains.
- All domains in a tree have two-way transitive trusts with each other.
Forest
- Collection of one or more trees.
- Shares a common schema and configuration.
- Manages a common global catalog.
- Shares the enterprise admin and schema admin accounts.
- Trusts between all domains
- Enables searching across all domains.
