16 Questions
Which feature allows Network Administrators to control the security and permissions for all computers on the domain?
Group Policy objects
What is the primary purpose of Network Administration in a domain based network?
To connect computers, users, and resources under a common security umbrella
In a workgroup model (peer-to-peer), what is the requirement to use any computer in the workgroup?
Each computer must have an account on that computer
Which Windows Server feature is used for automating Active Directory Domain Services administration?
WDS (Windows Deployment Services)
What is the main difference between a workgroup model and a domain model?
Domain model has servers to control security and permissions for all computers, while workgroup model requires each computer to have an account on that computer
What is the main responsibility of domain controllers in a network?
Centralizing user authentication, security policies, and resource management
What is the purpose of WSUS (Windows Server Update Service) in network administration?
To manage Windows updates for computers on the network
What is the purpose of creating the initial domain controller in a network?
To create the domain
How is each domain identified in a network?
By a DNS domain name
What is the function of a Read Only Domain Controller (RODC) in a branch office scenario?
To reduce network traffic and allow user logon authentication
What is the main difference between a Read Only Domain Controller (RODC) and a regular domain controller?
RODC contains non-editable AD data and maintains only a subset of AD information
What is the primary advantage of adding additional domain controllers to a domain?
Improving the availability and reliability of network services
What is the role of clients in the domain network?
Computers joined in the domain with Client Operating Systems
What is the function of member servers in the domain network?
Members Servers are computers joined in the domain with Server Operating Systems
What happens when each domain controller replicates changes in its copy of Active Directory to other domain controllers?
It helps in distributing AD information across multiple servers
Why are Read Only Domain Controllers typically deployed in branch office scenarios?
To help with user logons and AD replication with limited bandwidth
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.
Test your knowledge about Network Administration, Windows Server versions, Active Directory Domain Services, Group Policy objects, Disk Management, DHCP, DNS, Printer server, File Sharing & Security Permission, WSUS, WDS, and more outlined by Dr. Mujib Al-Ashwal in Lecture 1.
