Study Notes

Domain Model and Network Administration

In a domain-based network, Network Administrators control security and permissions for all computers on the domain.
The primary purpose of Network Administration in a domain-based network is to manage and maintain the network.

Workgroup Model vs. Domain Model

In a workgroup model (peer-to-peer), each computer must be configured individually, and any computer in the workgroup can be used by anyone.
The main difference between a workgroup model and a domain model is the centralized management and security control in a domain model.

Active Directory Domain Services Administration

The Windows Server feature used for automating Active Directory Domain Services administration is PowerShell.

Domain Controllers and RODCs

The main responsibility of domain controllers in a network is to store and manage directory information and authenticate users.
The purpose of creating the initial domain controller in a network is to establish the domain.
Each domain is identified by its unique domain name.
A Read Only Domain Controller (RODC) is used in branch office scenarios to improve security and reduce the risk of data breaches.
The main difference between a Read Only Domain Controller (RODC) and a regular domain controller is that an RODC has limited capabilities and is more secure.

Domain Controllers and Replication

When each domain controller replicates changes in its copy of Active Directory to other domain controllers, the network ensures consistency and accuracy of directory information.

Advantages of Additional Domain Controllers

The primary advantage of adding additional domain controllers to a domain is to improve network reliability, scalability, and performance.

Roles in the Domain Network

The role of clients in the domain network is to request access to network resources and services.
The function of member servers in the domain network is to provide additional services and applications to clients.

Windows Server Update Service (WSUS)

The purpose of WSUS is to automate the process of installing updates and patches to Windows systems in a network.
