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.
