DIRECTORY PRIMER  Standards-based, LDAP-compliant directory services system  Hierarchical structure provides organizational and administrative benefits  Directory services database can be distributed across multiple servers to provide fault tolerance and increase performance Chapter 1: INTRODUCING MICROSOFT WINDOWS SERVER 2003 21 AN ACTIVE DIRECTORY PRIMER (CONT.)  Active Directory database is stored in the \WINDOWS\NTDS directory on each domain controller  A repository for objects and resources, including user accounts, group accounts, computer accounts, and printers  Each object has a set of properties that is also stored in Active Directory Chapter 1: INTRODUCING MICROSOFT WINDOWS SERVER 2003 22 DOMAINS AND DOMAIN CONTROLLERS Domains: Provide administrative and security boundaries Allow resources to be grouped logically Can contain Organizational Units(OU's) to further organize resources Domain Controller Contoso.com Chapter 1: INTRODUCING MICROSOFT WINDOWS SERVER 2003 23 DOMAINS, TREES, AND FORESTS  Domain  Administrative unit of Active Directory  Tree  A collection of one or more domains  Forest  A collection of one or more trees Chapter 1: INTRODUCING MICROSOFT WINDOWS SERVER 2003 24 ACTIVE DIRECTORY TREE contoso.com us.contoso com europe.contoso com Chapter 1: INTRODUCING MICROSOFT WINDOWS SERVER 2003 25 ACTIVE DIRECTORY TREE  Any Active Directory structure, even one with a single domain, can be called a tree  All domains in a tree must share a contiguous namespace, a common schema, and a global catalog  Transitive trusts are automatically created between all domains in the tree  These trust relationships are important because they make it possible to assign permissions to an object in one domain for a resource in another domain Chapter 1: INTRODUCING MICROSOFT WINDOWS SERVER 2003 26 ACTIVE DIRECTORY FOREST contoso.com us.contoso.com europe.contoso.com adatum.com ny.adatum.com chicago.adatum.com Chapter 1: INTRODUCING MICROSOFT WINDOWS SERVER 2003 27 ACTIVE DIRECTORY FOREST  All trees in a forest share a global catalog and common schema but have a noncontiguous DNS namespace  Trust relationship needs to be created between domains Chapter 1: INTRODUCING MICROSOFT WINDOWS SERVER 2003 28 OBJECTS AND ATTRIBUTES  Active Directory records are called objects  Objects  Users, groups, printers, computers  Objects have attributes  Names, phone numbers, locations  Objects and attributes are defined in the schema  Schema is extensible Chapter 1: INTRODUCING MICROSOFT WINDOWS SERVER 2003 29 CONTAINERS AND LEAVES  Containers  Domains, organizational units (OUs), groups  Leaves  Users, printers, computers Chapter 1: INTRODUCING MICROSOFT WINDOWS SERVER 2003 30 GROUP POLICY  Group policy objects  Collections of hundreds of possible configuration settings  Can be applied to users, computers, and OUs  Policy applied at one level can override policy applied at another level Chapter 1: INTRODUCING MICROSOFT WINDOWS SERVER 2003 31 SUMMARY  Windows Server 2003 is available in Web Edition, Standard Edition, Enterprise Edition, and Datacenter Edition  The Manage Your Server page and the Configure Your Server Wizard make it easy to configure a Windows Server 2003 system to perform specific roles  Active Directory is a domain-based enterprise directory service that consists of objects, which are themselves composed of attributes  The Active Directory hierarchy is formed using forests, trees, domains, and organizational units Permissions, rights, and group policy settings all flow downward in the hierarchy ...
