    Study Notes

    Domain Join Process

    • Providing appropriate credentials is necessary to join a domain and ensure a secure connection between the client computer/member server and the domain controller.
    • Credentials required during the domain join process include a username and password of a domain administrator or a user with permission to join computers to the domain.

    Active Directory

    • Active Directory is used to manage and authenticate computers, users, and resources in a Windows domain network.
    • The primary objective of Active Directory is to provide a centralized management system for Windows domain networks.

    Domain Join Operations

    • Proper network connectivity between client computers/member servers and the domain controller is crucial for successful domain join operations.
    • To ensure proper network connectivity, the client computer/member server should be able to resolve the domain controller's DNS name.
    • The primary authentication method for domain join operations is Kerberos.
    • PowerShell cmdlet Add-Computer can be used as an alternative for joining a domain.

    Managing Domain-Joined Computers

    • After joining a domain, the computer or server should be restarted to apply the changes.
    • Group Policy is commonly configured after joining a domain to manage the security and configuration settings of domain-joined computers.
    • The primary purpose of ensuring proper network connectivity is to allow client computers and member servers to communicate with the domain controller and access domain resources.

    System Properties

    • System Properties in Windows can be accessed by pressing the Windows key + Pause/Break or by right-clicking on 'Computer' or 'This PC' and selecting 'Properties'.
    • System Properties is where you typically go to add a client computer or member server to a domain.

    Domain Administration

    • A domain administrator account is typically used to join the domain.
    • The crucial requirement during the domain join process is to have proper network connectivity and the correct credentials.
    • DNS configuration is crucial for domain operations, and the domain controller's DNS name should be resolvable by client computers and member servers.
