Estimated time to complete this lab: 60 minutes 2 Lab B: Creating Referrals and Replication Agreements BETA MATERIALS FOR MICROSOFT CERTIFIED TRAINER PREPARATION PURPOSES ONLY Exercise 1 Creating Referrals In this exercise, you will set up a referral so you can search for entries in your lab partner’s directory. Scenario Humongous Insurance and Juggernaut Insurance have decided to share directory information. Directory administrators from each organization have agreed to set up referrals in their directories so that their users can search the directories of both organizations transparently. Tasks Detailed Steps 1. Log on to Windows 2000. a. Log on to Windows 2000 as Administrator with a password of password. 2. Ensure that the MMS Server icon is present in the system tray. b. If the MMS Server icon is not present in the system tray, then perform steps b, c and d. c. At a command prompt, type net stop "MMS Server" and then press ENTER. d. At a command prompt, type net start "MMS Server" and then press ENTER. e. Close the command prompt window. 3. Start MMS Compass, and then log on to your MMS server. a. Start MMS Compass, and then log on to your MMS server as server@server.domain.nwtraders.msft (where server is your computer name and domain is your domain name) with a password of server. 4. Create an entry in your directory that will point to your lab partner’s directory information. a. In the directory pane of MMS Compass, navigate to nwtraders. b. Right-click nwtraders and then click Insert. c. In the Insert Object Under dialog box, in the Relative Name box, type partner_dom (where partner_dom is your partner's domain name). d. Under Type of Object To Create, click the Domain component icon, and then click Insert to create the referral node. The properties sheet for your newly created domain component will be displayed. e. Click OK to close the properties sheet. f. Click Cancel to close the Insert Object Under dialog box. 5. Identify the new entry as a referral node and set up MMS Compass to always chase referrals. a. In the directory pane, expand nwtraders, and then click partner_dom. b. In the control pane, click Administration. c. In the Entry Administration dialog box, on the References tab, in the Referral LDAP and HTTP Server URLs box, type ldap://partner_server.partner_dom.nwtraders.msft:390 (where partner_server is the name of your partner's server and partner_dom is the name of your partner's domain). Reference the Home Server LDAP URL text box as an example. d. Under Chasing Referrals, click Always chase, and then click OK.

Verify that the entries from your partner's MMS Server were referred to your server. e. In the directory pane, expand partner_dom, expand metaverse, and then expand MoneyDept. f. Right-click Aarika Quek, point to View, and then click Referrals. Which server will perform the following operations on this entry: Full Search? Read? Modification? Full Search: Referrals will be dispatched to your partner's server. Read: Referrals will be dispatched to your partner's server. Modification: Changes will be made on your partner's server. 6. (continued) g. Close Microsoft Internet Explorer. 7. Set up MMS Compass to search for an entry on your lab partner’s server. a. In the directory pane, right-click nwtraders, point to Configure, and then click Set Search Base. b. In the control pane, right-click Search, then click Search. The Search dialog box is displayed with the distinguished name of nwtraders set for the search base. c. In the Search dialog box, in the Search What box, type Aarika Quek and then click Find. d. In the control pane, click each entry to display its location in The Known Universe. How many Aarika Quek entries were returned by the search? Where in The Known Universe is each entry located and on which MMS Server. The search returned three Aarika Quek entries. One entry is the connector namespace entry on your MMS Server. A second entry is the metaverse namespace entry on your server. A third entry is a metaverse namespace entry on your partner's server. 8. Verify the rights that your partner has on your MMS Server. a. In the system tray, right-click the MMS Server icon, and then click Restore MMS Server. b. In the MMS Server window, in the Connected LDAP clients box, view the connections to your MMS Server. c. Locate your MMS Compass connection from the list of connected clients by using your Internet Protocol (IP) address. 4 Lab B: Creating Referrals and Replication Agreements BETA MATERIALS FOR MICROSOFT CERTIFIED TRAINER PREPARATION PURPOSES ONLY Tasks Detailed Steps What is the name and authentication type for your MMS Compass connection to your MMS Server? What is the name and authentication type for your partner's referral connection to your MMS Server? The name and authentication type for your MMS Compass connection to your MMS Server is Administrator and Protected. The name and authentication type for your partner's referral connection to your MMS Server is anonymous LDAP and Anonymous. 8. (continued) d. Minimize the MMS Server window. 9. Set up MMS Compass to look at local entries only. a. In the directory pane of MMS Compass, right-click partner_dom, point to Configure, point to Refer To, and then click Local Server. b. Double-click partner_dom. What information is displayed? Can you view your partner's MMS Server information? The Properties page of your local domain component entry is displayed.

Lab B: Creating Referrals and Replication Agreements 5 BETA MATERIALS FOR MICROSOFT CERTIFIED TRAINER PREPARATION PURPOSES ONLY Exercise 2 Replicating Information from Another Server In this exercise, you will create a replication agreement to make a shadow copy of your lab partner’s directory information. Scenario After trying referrals, the directory administrators at Northwind Traders discover that there is a large amount of inter-organizational directory lookups being performed. The directory administrators have decided to make local “shadow” copies of directory information to reduce network traffic.

Run the Replication agreement. a. In the Consumer Replication Agreement dialog box, display the Operate tab. b. Click Start Replication. The Operator's log displays the replication progress. c. Click OK to close the Consumer Replication Agreement dialog box. 6 Lab B: Creating Referrals and Replication Agreements BETA MATERIALS FOR MICROSOFT CERTIFIED TRAINER PREPARATION PURPOSES ONLY Tasks Detailed Steps Are there any new entries created other than the replicated entries? If so, what are they? Yes. A local collective attribute subentry and a local access control subentry has also been created directly under the junction node. 6. Verify that the entries from your partner's MMS Server were replicated to your server. a. In the directory pane, expand partner_dom, expand metaverse, and then expand MoneyDept. b. Right-click Aarika Quek, point to View, and then click Referrals. Which server will perform the following operations on this entry: Full Search? Read? Modification?
