What command would you use to remove a directory on a UNIX server?

How can active directory work without DHCP?
Active directory and DHCP are not the same services; they are intended to do different things. DHCP manages IP addressing and AD manages accounts, groups, users, etc. They don't need to work together.
Which server hosts active directory?
windows 2000 and above like 2k3 all editions, 2k8 with requisite Hardware. we need to make it Domain controller for active directory to work. We install AD to make it DC.

What command is used to create a suddirectory and change the current directory and to remove a subdirectory?
If for example we wanted to make i subdirictory called foo in Linux or UNIX it you use mkdir foo to change into it you would use CD foo to remove the directory rmdir foo but this will only work if the directory is empty to remove the directory called foo when it is not empty use rm -rf foo but please be sure this is what you really want to do.
Why was DNS Server service installed as part of the installation of Active Directory?
because it is the pre condition for active directory to work. the work of dns is to find host( machine in the network ) with help of IP or hostname( computer name) and dns stores all the info about it DNS makes ip addresses readable to us, for example instead of 172.63.187 we would type www.google.com........ it helps us out without it we'd have to memorize numbers to get web sites
What are the DS commands?
New DS (Directory Service) Family of built-in command line utilities for Windows Server 2003 Active Directory A: New DS built-in tools for Windows Server 2003The DS (Directory Service) group of commands are split into two families. In one branch are DSadd, DSmod, DSrm and DSMove and in the other branch are DSQuery and DSGet. When it comes to choosing a scripting tool for Active Directory objects, you really are spoilt for choice. The the DS family of built-in command line executables offer alternative strategies to CSVDE, LDIFDE and VBScript. Let me introduce you to the members of the DS family: DSadd - add Active Directory users and groupsDSmod - modify Active Directory objectsDSrm - to delete Active Directory objectsDSmove - to relocate objectsDSQuery - to find objects that match your query attributesDSget - list the properties of an objectDS SyntaxThese DS tools have their own command structure which you can split into five parts: 1 2 3 4 5Tool object "DN" (as in LDAP distinguished name) -switch value For example:DSadd user "cn=billy, ou=managers, dc=cp, dc=com" -pwd cX49pQba This will add a user called Billy to the Managers OU and set the password to cx49Qba Here are some of the common DS switches which work with DSadd and DSmod-pwd (password) -upn (userPrincipalName) -fn (FirstName) -samid (Sam account name). The best way to learn about this DS family is to logon at a domain controller and experiment from the command line. I have prepared examples of the two most common programs. Try some sample commands for DSadd. ˚ Two most useful Tools: DSQuery and DSGetThe DSQuery and DSGet remind me of UNIX commands in that they operate at the command line, use powerful verbs, and produce plenty of action. One pre-requisite for getting the most from this DS family is a working knowledge of LDAP. If you need to query users or computers from a range of OU's and then return information, for example, office, department manager. Then DSQuery and DSGet would be your tools of choice. Moreover, you can export the information into a text file
What is the difference between LDAP and Active Directory?
What i can make out is AD is a proprietary concept developed by Microsoft and LDAP is more open and more general protocol for managing directories in a client-server organization. AD features are limited in that it supports only windows based machine whereas LDAP supports multi platform computers to access directories in the server. Correct me if i am wrong.
