What are the different types of partitions present in AD

Active directory is divided into three partitions

Configuration Partition—replicates entire forest

Schema Partition—replicates entire forest

Domain Partition—replicate only in domain

Application Partition (Only in Windows 2003)

What are the (two) services required for replication

File Replication Service (FRS)

Knowledge Consistency Checker (KCC)

What is the difference between share permission and file permission?

file permissions are used to restrict a user who is logged onto that machine.

What is Active Directory?

Active Directory is a network-based object store and service that locates

and manages resources, and makes these resources available to authorized

users and groups. An underlying principle of the Active Directory is that everything is

considered an object—people, servers, workstations, printers, documents, and

devices. Each object has certain attributes and its own security access control

list (ACL).

what is domain, DC's, Sites, OU's, Trees, Forest, Child Domain,

Parent domain?

Organizational units. You use these container objects to arrange other

objects in a manner that supports your administrative purposes.

By arranging objects by organizational unit, you make it easier to locate

and manage objects. You can also delegate the authority to manage an

organizational unit. Organizational units can be nested in other

organizational units, which further simplify the management of objects.

Domains. The core functional units in the Active Directory logical structure,

domains are a collection of administratively defined objects that share

a common directory database, security policies, and trust relationships

with other domains. Domains provide the following three functions:

• An administrative boundary for objects

• A means of managing security for shared resources

• A unit of replication for objects

Domain trees. Domains that are grouped together in hierarchical structures

are called domain trees. When you add a second domain to a tree, it becomes

a child of the tree root domain. The domain to which a child domain is

attached is called the parent domain. A child domain may in turn have

its own child domain.

Child Domain : The name of a child domain is combined with the name

of its parent domain to form its own unique Domain Name System (DNS)

name such as corp.nwtraders.msft. In this manner, a tree has

a contiguous namespace.

Forests. A forest is a complete instance of Active Directory. It consists of

one or more trees. In a single two-level tree, which is recommended

for most organizations, all child domains are made children of the forest

root domain to form one contiguous tree.

Parent Domain: The first domain in the forest is called the forest root

domain. The name of that domain refers to the forest, such as nwtraders.

msft. By default, the information in Active Directory is shared only within

the forest.

This way, the forest is a security boundary for the information that is

Contained in the instance of Active Directory.
