1 Lesson 17. Domains and Active Directory

2 Objectives At the end of this Presentation, you will be able to:

3 Compare and contrast how Windows NT Server and Windows 2000 family Server handle domains. Define Directory Services and Active Directory. Explain how Active Directory is installed in Windows 2000/2003 Server. Define replication.

4 Network+ Domains covered: 3.1 3.11 4.4

5 Terms used with Windows NT based Networks Domains Primary Domain Controller (PDC) Backup Domain Controller (BDC)

6 The Security Account Manager (SAM) Database of all users, passwords, permissions, etc. A read/writeable copy is stored in the PDC. A read only copy is stored in the BDC. Changes are written to the PDC. The PDC periodically updates the BDC.

7 Windows 2000/2003 Server Does not have Primary Domain Controllers or Backup Domain Controllers. However, it still uses Domain Controllers but on a peer basis.

8 In a Windows 2000 Server family based network, servers can be: Domain Controllers Member servers

9 Domain Controllers Have Active Directory installed and configured. Provide network authentication. Have copies of the Active Directory database. Multiple Domain Controllers are allowed with Windows 2000 Server.

10 Changes to the Active Directory database are propagated to all Domain Controllers through a process called replication.

11 Advantages Fault tolerance. Faster response. Disadvantage More network traffic.

12 Member Servers Not involved in authentication. They can provide services such as file and print services, firewall, applications, etc.

13 NOS Directory Services Refers to the way the resources on the network are organized. Directory Services manages resources from multiple servers as if they were one data base. This not only includes resources such as files, folders, and printers, but information like user names, passwords, and groups, as well.

14 With stand-alone servers each server’s user and account data base must be managed separately.

15 With Directory Services based servers all servers’ user and account information is in one data base.

16 Unix Directory Service Unix’s implementation of directory services is called Network Information System, or NIS. A single user and password file is maintained by an NIS server. The NIS server copies the user and password data from the other computers in the network.

17 NetWare Directory Services Prior to version 4, NetWare used Bindery as a form of directory services Beginning with version 4, Netware uses directory services called NetWare Directory Services, or NDS.

18 NDS Structure Tree – A major collections of objects under a single heading. Context – The object’s position within the directory tree.

19 Microsoft’s implementation of directory services is called Active Directory.

20 Active Directory Makes the network easier to manage. Aids users in finding network resources.

21 NetWare Directory Service Microsoft’s Active Directory Trees Context Objects and Attributes Containers Domains Trees Forests

22 Domain Name Service (DNS) names User Principle Names (UPN) Distinguished Names HTTP URL Names UNC Names Globally Unique Identifier (GUID) NetBIOS Windows 2000 Naming Systems

23 Domain Name Service (DNS) names Used by the Internet. Example: bbear. users.heathkit.com

24 User Principle Names (UPN) A “user friendly” naming system often used as an email address. Example: BobBear@heathkit.com

25 Distinguished Names Used by LDAP to communicate with Active Directory. Example: CN=Bob Bear, OU=Engineering, O=Heathkit, C=US

26 HTTP URL Names The naming system used by the world wide web. Example: http://heathkit.com/html/ezs703.html

27 Universal Naming Convention (UNC) An Industry Standard that provides a common syntax for naming computer resources. Should work across platforms such as Windows, NetWare, and Unix. Example: \\SERVERNAME\SHARENAME

28 Globally Unique Identifier (GUID) 128-bit number Assigned to every object in Active Directory Never changes no matter what the object is named or renamed Unique in all the world

29 NetBIOS names For backward compatibility with Windows NT and other prior versions of Windows.
