What is a group of users servers and other resources that share a centralized database of account and security information?
Many operating systems and schemes refer to them by different names: "Security Groups" = Linux, Windows "Organizational Units/Groups" = LDAP "Domains" = Active Directory
What is considered a security principal at windows 2008?
User Accounts, Groups and Computer Accounts. Manu
How does one manage group policies in Windows?
In Windows managing group policies is easy. You go into the settings and you can control what groups can control certain areas of your information on the network.
What are two group types and three group scopes?
â– Security groups Security groups are used to group domain users into a single administrative unit. Security groups can be assigned permissions and can also be used as e-mail distribution lists. Users placed into a group inherit the permissions assigned to the group for as long as they remain members of that group. Windows itself uses only security groups. â– Distribution groups These are used for nonsecurity purposes by applications other than Windows. One of the primary uses is within an e-mail As with user accounts, there are both local and domain-level groups. Local groups are stored in a local computer's security database and are intended to control resource access on that computer. Domain groups are stored in Active Directory and let you gather users and control resource access in a domain and on domain controllers Group scopes determine where in the Active Directory forest a group is accessible and what objects can be placed into the group. Windows Server 2003 includes three group scopes: global, domain local, and universal. â– Global groups are used to gather users that have similar permissions requirements. Global groups have the following characteristics: 1. Global groups can contain user and computer accounts only from the domain in which the global group is created. 2. When the domain functional level is set to Windows 2000 native or Windows Server 2003 (i.e., the domain contains only Windows 2000 or 2003 servers), global groups can also contain other global groups from the local domain. 3. Global groups can be assigned permissions or be added to local groups in any domain in a forest. â– Domain local groups exist on domain controllers and are used to control access to resources located on domain controllers in the local domain (for member servers and workstations, you use local groups on those systems instead). Domain local groups share the following characteristics: 1. Domain local groups can contain users and global groups from any domain in a forest no matter what functional level is enabled. 2. When the domain functional level is set to Windows 2000 native or Windows Server 2003, domain local groups can also contain other domain local groups and universal groups. â– Universal groups are normally used to assign permissions to related resources in multiple domains. Universal groups share the following characteristics: 1. Universal groups are available only when the forest functional level is set to Windows 2000 native or Windows Server 2003. 2. Universal groups exist outside the boundaries of any particular domain and are managed by Global Catalog servers. 3. Universal groups are used to assign permissions to related resources in multiple domains. 4. Universal groups can contain users, global groups, and other universal groups from any domain in a forest. 5. You can grant permissions for a universal group to any resource in any domain
Is the SAM located on the domain controller?
Yes its is located but replaced by another Smaller SAM database SAM Accounts on a Windows 2000 Server That Becomes a Domain Controller When you install Active Directory on a computer that is running Windows 2000 Server to create a domain controller, you can either create a new domain or configure the domain controller to contain a copy of an existing domain. In both cases, the existing registry key that contains the SAM database is deleted and is replaced by a new, smaller SAM database. The security principals in this database are used only when the server is started in Directory Services Restore Mode. The disposition of the security principals in the SAM database on the server is different in each case, as follows: If you create an additional domain controller in an existing domain, the security accounts in the existing SAM database on the server are deleted. The accounts from the existing domain are replicated to Active Directory on the new domain controller. If you create a new domain, the security accounts in the existing SAM database are preserved as follows: User accounts become user objects in Active Directory. Local groups in the account domain become group objects in Active Directory. The group type indicates a local group. Built-in local groups become group objects in Active Directory. The group type indicates a built-in local group. These groups retain their constant SIDs and are stored in the Builtin container.
Why ADS is required for domain controller?
Domain Controller it is Microsoft Windows Server 2000/2003 directory server that provides access controls over users, accounts, groups, computers and other network resources. Domain Controller authenticate users and maintains directory services and the security database for a domain. without ADS it is not possible.
Which group is used most often when designing an Active Directory infrastructure?
Windows 2008 server has two groups, security and distribution. Distribution is used for Email. So I would say Security makes sense.
Where are local groups stored?
In the local SAM database
Where can you apply security templates?
Depending on the Operating System Assuming Windows, you can create a security template, which you can then use when creating security groups. So you don't really Apply a template is just a starting point, is handy to use if setting up lots of users etc.
What is true when a domain is in the windows 2000 mixed functional levels?
universal groups are not present in the win2000 mixed mode the forest level needs to be win2003 for it to work.Universal groups can be used anywhere in the same Windows forest. They are only available in a Native-mode enterprise. Universal groups may be an easier approach for some administrators because there are no intrinsic limitations on their use. Users can be directly assigned to Universal groups, they can be nested, and they can be used directly with access-control lists to denote access permissions in any domain in the enterprise.Universal groups are stored in the global catalog (GC); this means that all changes made to these groups engender replication to all global catalog servers in the entire enterprise. Changes to universal groups must therefore be made only after a careful examination of the benefits of universal groups as compared to the cost of the increased global catalog replication load. If an organization has but a single, well-connected LAN, no performance degradation should be experienced, while widely dispersed sites might experience a significant impact. Typically, organizations using WANs should use Universal groups only for relatively static groups in which memberships change rarelyWindows 2000 Server mixed (default)Supported domain controllers: Microsoft Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000 Server , Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2Activated features: local and global groups, global catalog supportWindows 2000 Server nativeSupported domain controllers: Windows 2000 Server, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2Activated features: group nesting, universal groups, Sid History, converting groups between security groups and distribution groups, you can raise domain levels by increasing the forest level settings
What is groups of servers that share a common user account databases and security policies?
DOMAIN...........domain A group of users, servers, and other resources that share account and security policies through a Windows Server 2003 or Server 2008 NOS
Which groups are used to directly assign permissions to resources?
security groups
