Logical group of computers with a common database of accounts

centralized authentication
centralized mgmt

Domain Controllers - in W2k3 all DCs are equal...no more PDC, BDC

Multimaster replication model.

In Active Directory(AD) ... no more sams database.

Way to store information in a directory so it can be retrieved.

Schema - defines types of objects stored in a directory and attributes assigned to objects

* Objects - users, printers, applications, computers, other entities

* Object classes - specific types of entities that can be stored

*Attributes - properties of objects

*Method for searching for info about objects.

every domain in multiple forests can share resources with each other while having single sign-on. Only W2k3 ---no W2k or NT as DCs...

Active Domain Users and Computers

In ADUC you can search and save the following:
* printers in a certain location
* users who use Exchange Instant messaging
* Machines with RIS
* empty groups

Remote Installation Services

Group Policy Management Console

* drag-drop
* backup / restore Group Policy
* copy / import GPOs

credentials
Global Catalog (GC) servers

** This allows people to login when GC goes down

All DCs cache credentials from GC Servers.

Appplication paritition -
* You can add data to this partition and choose which DCs replicate it.

remote document sharing.

Distributed File System - allows you to create a single login tree view from multiple servers

Used to replicate DFS file share data.

replication topology and compressed replication traffic

Enable shadow copy on server and install client software. End users can then right click on a file and view previous versions.

No

Installed in lock down mode.

With a virtual name to the group of NLB servers

NLB Manager

Internet Group Management Protocol

In multicast mode you can use it to limit cluster traffic on the switch to ports that have NLB server connected to them.

Internet Connection Firewall....allows you to filter network connection of your DNS server so that only DNS requests are passed through

*requires Windows CAL for each connection
*CALs assigned to each server and not shared between servers
*Once maximum connections reached no more connections allowed

* each device or user has its own Windows CAL.

Basic
Dynamic

Physical - actual tangible disk
Logical - units made up of all or part of one or more disks.

Divisions of a single disk.

Yes

Basic disks are same disk structure broken into primary and/or extended partitions with logicals drives.
Dyanmic support simple and spanned volumes.

Extend simple volumes into empty space
Create spanned volumes across physical disks
Create fault tolerant RAID (1&5) volumes

* not supported on laptops
* removable disks or shared scsi bus can't be converted to dynamic
*only able to install W2k3 onto a dynamic volume converted from a basic boot or system partition not from a newly created volume
* cant convert a basic disk that hold mutliple OSs
* Cluster Service (WCS) doesn't support dynamic disks on a clustered shared disk.

Master Boot Record (MBR) and boot sector

* scans partition table for active partition
* finds starting sector for active partition
* loads copy of boot sector of active partition into memory
* passes control to the boot sector

No - use Logical Disk Manager (LDM) 1MB database at the end of disk. DB is replicated to all dynamic disks

* Simple
* Spanned
* Stripped
* Mirrored
* RAID 5

* made of free space on single dynamic disk
* not fault tolerant
* Can extend simple volumes across multiple disks
* almost 100% disk utilization

* support 2 to 32 disks
* can't be mirrored
* not fault tolerant

* support 2 to 32 disks
* smallest drive sets the size limit across all drives
* approximately 100% utilization
* cannot be mirrored or extended

* requires 2 disks
* must be identical disks
* recommended that be same model and manufacturer
* 50% utilization

1.) Break the mirror
2.) replace the hardware
3.) create a new mirrored volume

Duplexing uses two controllers for mirroring to reduce chance of failure

* 3 to 32 disks
* increased performance for reads
* data written in 64kb chuncks
* 1 disk is used for parity. * more disks in an array provides more efficient disk utilization
