Study Notes

Domain Controllers (DCs) in an Organization's Network

A Domain Controller (DC) is responsible for authenticating users, storing account information, and enforcing security policies in an organization's network.

Configuration of Domain Controllers (DCs) in Windows NT

In Windows NT, Domain Controllers (DCs) were configured using a single-master model, where one DC was designated as the primary domain controller (PDC) and the others were backup domain controllers (BDCs).

Priorities of Domain Controllers (DCs) in Windows Server 2019

In Windows Server 2019, priorities are identified for Domain Controllers (DCs) using a priority value, which determines the order in which DCs are contacted by clients for authentication and other services.

Physical Components of Active Directory

The physical components of Active Directory relate to the hardware and infrastructure that support the Active Directory database, including domain controllers, global catalog servers, and DNS servers.

Presence of Multiple Domain Controllers

If there is more than one domain controller on the network, they can provide redundancy and fault tolerance, ensuring that the network remains operational even if one DC fails.

Configuration Approach in Windows Server 2019

In Windows Server 2019, Domain Controllers (DCs) are configured using a multi-master model, where all DCs are equal peers and can accept and replicate changes to the Active Directory database.
