MICROSOFT ACTIVE DIRECTORY MIDTERM

the process of keeping each domain controller in synch with changes that have been made elsewhere on the network

interoperability with prior versions of Microsoft Windows is available in Windows Server 2008

The largest container object within Active Directory

References an object in the Active Directory structure using its entire hierarchial path, starting with the object itself including all parents objects up to the root of the domain

has been Active Directory's default name resolution method

Are the locator records within DNS that allow clients to locate an Active Directory domain controller or global catalog

the functional level allows no backward compatibility. Only Windows server 2008 domain controllers are supported

this level allows backward compatibility with Microsoft Windows 2000

this functional level allows Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 domain controllers only

transitive in nature and they can be configured as either a one-way or two-way relationship

adds a domain controller to an existing environment and adds a new domain tree to an existing forest

the process of replicating DNS information from one DNS server to another

the process of removing records that were not refreshed or updated within specified time intervals, which will occur naturally with machines that are removed from the network

necessary for computer hostname-to-IP address mappings, which are used for for name resolution by a variety of services

DNS resolves the IP address to a host name

a special installation option that creates a minimal environment for running only specific services and roles

can be used to shorten the "Tree-walking" process for users who require frequent access to resources elsewhere in the forest

allows you to create two-way transitive trusts between separate forests

used to configure a one-way nontransitive trust with a Windows 2000 domain or a single domain in a external organization

allow you to configure trust relationships between Window Server 2008 Active Directory and a UNIX MIT Kerberos realm

Active Directory uses this to control replication traffic

Domain controllers that reside within the same site

Domain controllers located in different sites

Active Directory installation wizard which you can see in the Active Directory Sites and Services tool

INTERSITE REPLICATION PRIMARY GOAL

BOTH INTRASITE AND INTERSITE REPLICATION USE THIS

acts as a central repository by holding a complete copy of all objects from the host server's local domain along with a partial copy of all objects from other domains within the same forest

WHEN A USER INITIATES A SEARCH FOR AN OBJECT IN ACTIVE DIRECTORY THE REQUEST IS AUTOMATICALLY SENT TO THIS PORT

TRUE/FALSE
each site should contain a global catalog server to facilitate user logons

responsible for assigning relative identifiers to domain controllers in the domain

responsible for reference updates from its domain objects to other domains

provides backward compatibility with Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 domains. Password changes, account lockouts, and time synchronization for the domain will also be managed by this

RID, infrastructure master, and PDC emulator

Domain naming master and schema master

responsible for managing changes to the Active Directory

has the authority to manage the creation and deletion of domains, domain trees, and application data partitions in the forest

process is used when you move a FSMO role gracefully from one domain controller to another

procedure is used only when you have experienced a failure of a domain controller that holds a FSMO role. Seizing a role can be defined as forced, ungraceful transfer

view the RID Master, PDC Emulator, or Infrastructure Master

is the process of confirming a user's identity using a known value such as a password, smart card, or biometric means

the process of confirming that an authenticated user has the correct permissions to access one or more network resources

accounts used to access the local computer only and are stored in local Security Account Manager (SAM) database where they reside

these accounts are used to access Active Directory or network based resources, such as shared folders or printers

these accounts are automatically created when Microsoft Windows Server 2008 is installed

describes the process of configuring one or more groups as members of another group

security-related groups created for purposes of granting resource access permissions to multiple users

nonsecurity-related groups created for the distribution of information to one or more persons

controls which objects the group can contain, limiting the objects to the same domain or permitting objects from remote domains as well, and controls the location in the domain or forest the group can be used

can be used to grant or deny permissions to any resource located in any domain in the forest

used to assign permissions to resources that reside only in the same direction as the domain local group

ALL DEFAULT GROUPS ARE....

you cannot manually modify the group membership, nor can you view their membership lists

is a special identity group that contains all authenticated users and domain guests

used to import or export Active Directory information from a comma-separated value (.csv) file.

can be used to add, delete, or modify objects in Active Directory, in addition to modifying the schema

can be used to create, delete, view, and modify Active Directory objects including users, groups, and OUs

an alphanumeric sequence of characters that you enter with a username to access a server, workstation, or shard resource

an attempt to discover a user's password

password cracking can be accomplished by intelligent guessing on the part of the hacker or through the use of automated tools to try every possible combination of characters until correct sequence is discovered

Strong passwords are required when Active Directory is installed

you utilize a simple interface to delegate permissions for domains, OUs, or containers
