Study Notes

IP Address Management (IPAM) in Windows Server 2016

The highest-level entity in the IP address space is the IP address block.
An IPAM server must be a domain member and can also function as a domain controller; however, it should not provide DNS or DHCP services simultaneously.
A false requirement for an IPAM server is that it "should always be logged on to with a domain account."

Server Requirements for IPAM

An incorrect statement regarding server requirements is that the server must have a dual-core CPU of at least 2.0 GHz.
The server must run Windows Server 2008 R2 or later, have at least 4 GB of RAM, and 80 GB of free disk space.

Communication between Multiple IPAM Servers

Multiple IPAM servers can be configured to communicate through IPAM replication.
Other options like network load balancing or failover clustering are incorrect for IPAM communication.

Database Types Compatible with IPAM

Compatible database types for Windows IPAM include Microsoft SQL and Windows Internal Database Access.

Group Policy Objects (GPO) for IPAM

Four Group Policy Objects are created during automatic Group Policy-based provisioning of an IPAM server.
The correct PowerShell cmdlet for creating IPAM provisioning GPOs is Initiate-IpamGpoProvisioning.

Scheduled Tasks for IPAM Server

The process collecting IP address space usage data from DHCP servers runs every four hours.
The process collecting zone status events from DNS servers runs every 15 minutes.

IPAM Console Management

The Monitor and Manage section of the IPAM console does not include DNS Zone Monitoring.
Right-clicking on a DHCP-issued IP address allows you to delete a DHCP lease, delete a DHCP reservation, and create a DHCP reservation.

IPAM Database Default

The default database used with IPAM is the Windows Internal Database.

Benefits of SQL Server with IPAM

Using SQL server with IPAM provides advantages such as scalability, enhanced security, improved reporting, and better disaster recovery options.

Installing IPAM Servers

IPAM Functions

IPAM does not perform planning, but it carries out auditing, tracking, and monitoring.

Administering IPAM

IPAM administration can occur from operating systems like Windows 8.1, Windows 10, and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1.

Group Policies Created by IPAM

The GPO IPAM1_NPS is not created when IPAM is provisioned through automatic Group Policy.

Managing DNS Servers with IPAM

A single IPAM server can manage 500 DNS servers.

Memory Requirements for IPAM

A minimum of 4 GB RAM is required for installing an IPAM server.

Commencing Automatic Group Policy Provisioning

The PowerShell cmdlet to start the automatic Group Policy provisioning on an IPAM server is Invoke-IpamGpoProvisioning.
