Active Directory data is logically partitioned so that each domain controller does not store all objects in the directory. Each directory partition, also called a naming context, contains objects of a particular scope and purpose. Below are the three major Active Directory partitions described:-
· Schema Partition defines the object classes and their attributes for the entire directory. The configuration is replicated to everydomain controller in the forest.
· Domain Partition contains all the objects stored in a domain, including users, groups, computers, and group policy containers (GPCs). This partition information is replicated to all domain controllers within a domain, but not to domain controllers in other domains.
· Configuration Partition contains objects that represent the logical struct-er of the forest, domains, as well as the physical topology, including sites, subnets, and services.
Application Directory Partition replicates directory partition only to specific domain controllers. This is responsible for generating and maintaining Replication topology. Objects stored in Application directory partition are not replicated to the Global Catalog.

What are the partitions in Active Directory?
1.-schema partition 2.-configuration partition 3.-domain partition 4.-application partition
What partition is the active partition of the hard drive?
The system partition(a partition where the operating system is installed) is the active partition of the Hard Drive
Which partition of Windows 2000XP must be the active partition of the hardware?
Must be at least a 2 GB partition. System partition.
Windows 2000 xp is installed using a system partition and a boot partition which of this partition must be the active partition of the hardrive?
The boot partition
The partition is the active partition of the hard drive?
system partition
What partition of the hard drive is the active partition?
System partition
When you partition a computer do you just partition the harddrive or do you partition the RAM as well?
You just partition the Hard drive not the RAM.
What happens to all the information in a partition if you delete the partition?
If a partition is formatted, or deleted, then the information saved on that partition is also deleted. So, if there is any information on the partition you wish saved, backup that information or copy it to another partition or another location before deleting the partition.
Is the bootmgr file stored in the boot partition or system partition?
system partition
Domain controller replication for 2008 server?
Replication and configuration setsActive Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS) uses replication to provide fault tolerance and load balancing for directory services. AD LDS uses a type of replication called multimaster replication. Through replication, AD LDS copies directory data updates that are made to a directory partition on one AD LDS instance to other AD LDS instances that hold copies of the same directory partition. AD LDS instances that hold copies of the same directory partition or partitions form a logical grouping called a configuration set.Multimaster replicationMultimaster replication simply means that you can make changes to directory data on any AD LDS instance. AD LDS replicates these changes to other members of the configuration set automatically. Multimaster replication is characterized by loose data consistency with convergence. When you make changes to data on a given directory partition at one AD LDS instance, replicas of that directory partition that are stored on other AD LDS instances become inconsistent with the most up-to-date replica of the directory partition (the partition where the changes were made). However, as changes get replicated through the configuration set, all partition replicas once again become identical; that is, they converge to the most recent data.Configuration setsAD LDS instances replicate data based on participation in a configuration set. All AD LDS instances that are joined to the same configuration set must replicate a common configuration directory partition and a common schema directory partition. AD LDS instances in a configuration set can also replicate any number of application directory partitions. AD LDS instances in a configuration set are not required to replicate all application directory partitions in the configuration set. A single AD LDS instance can replicate all-or any subset of-the application directory partitions in its configuration set. An AD LDS instance cannot, however, replicate an application directory partition from a different configuration set.Preventing replication conflictsWhat if two different users make changes to the same data on replicas of the same directory partition on two different AD LDS instances? In this case, each AD LDS instance attempts to replicate the changes, creating a conflict. To resolve this conflict, replication partners that receive these conflicting changes examine the attribute data that is contained in the changes, each of which holds a version and a time stamp. AD LDS instances accept the change with the higher version and discard the other change. If the versions are identical, AD LDS instances accept the change with the more recent time stamp.If two or more values in a multivalued attribute on an object are updated simultaneously on two different AD LDS instances, only one of the updated values will be replicated. In other words, simultaneous updates to a multivalued attribute that occur on two different AD LDS instances are considered to be in conflict, even if the updates apply to different values within the multivalued attribute. The only exception to this rule is for linked-value attributes (such as group memberships), which do allow for simultaneous updates to different values within the linked-value attribute.Replication topologyKnowledge Consistency Checker (KCC), a process that runs as part of each AD LDS instance, automatically constructs the most efficient topology for replication traffic to follow based on the network. The KCC regularly recalculates the replication topology to adjust for any network changes that occur in the environment.An AD LDS configuration set maintains its own replication topology, separate from any Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) replication topology that might also exist. Directory partitions cannot be replicated between AD LDS instances and AD DS domain controllers.Ensuring replication securityTo ensure replication security, AD LDS authenticates replication partners before replication, and replication authentication always occurs over a secure channel. AD LDS uses Security Support Provider Interface (SSPI) to establish the appropriate authentication security level between replication partners. The method that is used for replication authentication within a configuration set depends on the value of the msDS-ReplAuthenticationModeattribute on the configuration directory partition. After replication partners have successfully authenticated, all replication traffic between the two partners is encrypted.The following table describes the security levels for replication authentication and the corresponding msDS-ReplAuthenticationMode attribute value for each security level. The default replication security level for a new, unique AD LDS instance is 1, unless a local workstation user account is specified as the AD LDS service account. If a local workstation account is specified as the AD LDS service account, the replication security level is set to 0To help maintain AD LDS replication security, the following best practices are recommended:Use the highest level of replication security that your environment can support.In AD DS environments, run AD LDS on member servers, rather than on domain controllers, whenever possible.If you run AD LDS on a domain controller in an AD DS environment, do not use the Network Service account as the AD LDS service account. Instead, use a domain user account that does not have administrative privileges.In workgroup and Windows NT 4.0 environments, do not use an account with administrative privileges as an AD LDS service account.Use separate configuration sets for applications with strict isolation requirements
What is another name for the active partition of the hard drive?
The active partition is the partition which is marked as Active in Index table. the status and locations of partitions are stored in MBR(master boot record). The active status tells the system which partition to boot from. System boots from the partition which contains the Operating System(windows XP, 2003.....). So the partition which contains the Operating System is Active partition and it is the Primary partition. So we can call the active partition as Bootable Partition or Primary Partition.
Where is the partition table on a hard drive found?
Most of the time the boot partition and the system partition are the same partition on the drive C.
