Study Notes

Active Directory Study Notes

  • Active Directory Objects: Two basic classes are containers and leaf objects.
  • Active Directory Schema: Defines what objects exist and their attributes. Active Directory schema is responsible for defining the attributes associated with objects in AD.
  • Active Directory Container Object Level: Organizational Units (OUs) are the next level within a domain; another level is a subdomain.
  • Domain Trust Relationship: Enables users in one domain to access resources in another within the same domain tree. This is referred to as a bidirectional trust relationship.
  • Active Directory Forest: Composed of multiple domain trees. The domain tree is a hierarchical structure that defines the relationships between domains within a forest.
  • Active Directory Functional Level: Determined by the lowest version of Windows Server on a domain controller. It determines the capabilities of the forest.
  • Global Catalog: An index of all Active Directory objects in a forest. The global catalog is a special server that maintains a copy of all objects in an entire forest.

DNS Study Notes

  • DNS Hierarchy: Top level servers are called root servers
  • DNS Query Types: Recursive query is the typical one sent to a root name server; iterative query is a typical query. A recursive query requests resolution of a name from a root name server. An iterative query requests resolution of a name from a given or nearby server.
  • DNS Resource Records: maintained by the authoritative source for a given domain; crucial for maintaining a domain's resource records.
  • TTL: Time To Live, specified by an administrator in a DNS server to determine the length of time data within it remains cached; used for caching DNS resource records.

DHCP Study Notes

  • DHCP Infrastructure: Distributed DHCP infrastructure reduces administrative burden and minimizes network traffic on routers. It helps manage IP address assignments efficiently.
  • DHCP Lease Renewal: Clients initiate renewal 50% of the way through the lease period. Renewal is requested to maintain the IP address lease before it expires.
  • DHCP Server Configuration: DHCP server needs scope created and activated; needs to be added to the trusted list on client computers. This ensures proper functioning and assignment of IP addresses through a DHCP server.

Active Directory User Accounts

  • Built-in accounts: Two built-in user accounts are system and guest.
  • User Account Types: Two main types of user accounts in Windows Server 2019: Local and domain accounts.
  • User Authentication: The process of confirming a user's identity.
  • User Permissions and Access: Determined by the user and administrator, and also by the security of the user or computer account.
  • Permissions: Refers to the level of access that a user has to a certain resource within the system. Permissions affect how users or computers can interact with resources.

Other Study Notes

  • GPOs: Multiple Group Policies can be linked to a container, and the order of link determines their priority.
  • Important Difference Between Groups and OUs: Group membership can be a subset of an OU. This means a group can contain members from various OUs within an organizational structure.
  • Removing a Domain Controller: Use Remove Roles and Features Wizard.
  • Active Directory Object Creation: A domain user without explicit permission can't directly create computer objects. An authenticated user within a different domain can create a workstation. However, they can't create server objects.
