| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Computer Account | An account created in the AD database for a computer. It contains an encryption key used to encrypt communication with domain controllers during authentication. |
| Domain Admins group (effect of domain join) | When a computer joins a domain, this group is added to the computer's local 'Administrators' group. This allows Domain Admins to log in and administer any system in the domain. |
| Domain Users group (effect of domain join) | Gets added to the local 'Users' group, allowing any domain user account to log into the computer. |
| Domain Guests group (effect of domain join) | Gets added to the local 'Guests' group, allowing members to access the computer with the rights of the local Guests group. |
| AD Objects | Represent domain users, groups, and computer accounts stored as objects within the AD database. |
| AD database | Can contain an unlimited number of objects and is accessed quickly using the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). |
| Group Policy (features of AD) | An AD feature to automatically deploy software, configure security, and deploy application settings. It reduces administration time. |
| Active Directory schema | Defines all available object types (classes) and their associated properties (attributes). |
| Leaf objects (think end of a tree branch) | Objects that do not contain other objects. Examples include user, group, and computer accounts, and shared printers. |
| what are Container objects | Objects in the AD database that can contain other objects. The three main types are Domains, OUs, and Sites. |
| Container object organizational Units (OUs) | Similar to a folder, it contains leaf objects or other OUs (child OUs). Used to represent the structure of a specific business unit. |
| Container object Sites (Container) | Represent the physical sites in your organization. |
| Active Directory forest | A container holding multiple domains within the same organization. |
| Active Directory tree | A structure of parent and child domains. |
| Using additional domain controllers | Add them to the forest root domain Configured to host an Active Directory database for another domain within the same forest |
| Distinguished Name (DN) | A unique name given to each leaf object that identifies its Common Name (CN) and its location within AD. (e.g., CN=J.Eckert,OU=R&D,DC=domain1,DC=com) |
| Trust relationship (trust) look at CH:4 slide 13 for example | Allows users to access resources in other domains, provided they have permission in the resource's ACL. |
| Transitive property look at CH:4 slide 13 for example | Allows a trust relationship to apply to other trust relationships, minimizing the number of trusts needed. |
| The First parent domain within each tree does? | Trusts the first parent domain within each other tree in the same forest with two-way transitive trust relationships (notice the double-headed arrows) |
| Each parent domain within a tree does? | Trusts their child domains using two-way transitive trust relationships |
| Internal trusts know as and allows what? | Known as “Default trust relationships” Allows users to access resources in any other domain within the forest to which they have been granted permission. |
| Local group accounts | Simplify the assignment of rights and permissions to multiple local user accounts on a system |
| Group account objects | Simplify the assignment of rights and permissions to user account objects that are members of the group Minimizes the number of entries within the ACL |
| Two main types of group accounts in AD one type = Distribution groups | A type of AD group used with an email system, such as Microsoft Exchange Server. |
| Two main types of group accounts in AD Second type = Security groups | The default group type in AD. They can be assigned rights and permissions that apply to their members. |
| Global scopes | Used to organize rights and permissions assignments across multiple domains. |
| Domain local scope | Group members can be objects from any domain in the forest, but the group is used within a single domain. |
| Universal scope | Group members can be objects from any and all domains in the forest. |
| AD database partitions | Sections of the AD database, including the Schema, Configuration, and Domain partitions. |
| Single forest (slide 18 WIP) | Can contain an unlimited number of domains Each domain can contain an unlimited number of objects |
| Single forest Global catalog (slide 18 ) | Contains a list of all object names in the forest. Stored on at least one domain controller (Global Catalog Server). Used to quickly locate objects in remote domains. |
| Global Catalog (function) (slide 19) | Required to complete the authentication process and log in to the domain. |
| User Principle Name (UPN) | A unique name in the global catalog (e.g., user@domain.com). Users can use it to log in from any computer in the forest. |
| Container objects Domains (Container) | Represent an AD domain (e.g., domain1.com). Typically represents a business unit and contains OUs and leaf objects |
| Forest root domain | The first domain created in a forest. |
| Site object (replication) or (site) | Represents a physical location and is associated with one or more IP subnets to control AD replication bandwidth. |
| AD replication protocols | IP and Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). |
| Read-Only Domain Controller (RODC) | A domain controller that contains a read-only copy of the Active Directory database. Used in locations where physical security is a concern. |
| RODC (password replication) | Can be configured to only replicate password attributes for users within its specific branch office. |
| Protect container from accidental deletion | An option that is checked by default when creating a new OU to prevent it from being easily deleted. |
| Universal Group Membership Caching (UGMC) | Allows universal groups to be cached on domain controllers within a site. Enables fast logins, especially if a Global Catalog server is not local. |
