Where does Exchange store its configuration settings?
At Active Directory configuration partition
What are the partitions in Active Directory?
1.-schema partition 2.-configuration partition 3.-domain partition 4.-application partition
Which naming context are replicated across an entire Active Directory forest?
The Schema and Configuration partition
What are directory partitions?
Configuration Contains the Configuration container, which stores configuration objects for the entire forest in cn=configuration,dc= forestRootDomain . Updates to this container are replicated to all domain controllers in the forest. Configuration objects store information about sites, services, and directory partitions. You can view the contents of the Configuration container by using ADSI Edit.Schema Contains the Schema container, which stores class and attribute definitions for all existing and possible Active Directory objects in cn=schema,cn=configuration,dc= forestRootDomain . Updates to this container are replicated to all domain controllers in the forest. You can view the contents of the Schema container in the Active Directory Schema console.Domain Contains a < domain > container (for example, the abc.com container), which stores users, computers, groups, and other objects for a specific Windows 2000 domain (for example, the abc.com domain). Updates to the < domain> container are replicated to only domain controllers within the domain and to Global Catalog servers if the update is made to an attribute that is marked for replication to the Global Catalog. The < domain > container is displayed in the Active Directory Users and Computers console. The hierarchy of domain directory partitions can be viewed in the Active Directory Domains and Trusts console, where trust relationships between domains can be managed.Each directory partition is a contiguous portion of the directory tree, and each one starts at a single point (the directory partition head ) and spreads to either leaf nodes (for the schema and configuration directory partitions) or to the heads of other directory partitions below it (for domain directory partitions). Each directory partition, therefore, has exactly one directory partition immediately above it in the tree (except for a tree root domain directory partition, which has only the rootDSE above it) and possibly more directory partitions immediately below it
What are ad partition?
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.
How is the active partitioned used?
Active partition is a term Windows uses to mean the partition Windows will boot off of. The Windows boot loader goes to its configuration file and starts, these files will be in the active partition.
7 What are application partitions When do you use them?
Application Directory Partition is a partition space in Active Directory which an application can use to store that application specific data. This partition is then replicated only to some specific domain controllers. The application directory partition can contain any type of data except security principles (users, computers, groups).
What naming contexts are replicated across an entire active directory forest?
Active Directory NC (Naming Context's)Active Directory consists of three partitions or naming contexts (NC) Domain, Configuration and Schema Naming ContextsEach are replicated independentlyAn Active Directory forest has single schema and configuration Every domain controller (DC) holds a copy of each (schema, configuration NC's)Forest can have multiple domains Every domain controller in a domain holds a copy of the domain NC
Which active directory application partition will replicate dns data to all domain controllers within an active directory domain that have been configured to run the dns server role?
DomainDNSzones
Which of the following is not a valid directory partition type?
extended directory partition
What is Active directory Naming Context?
Active Directory NC (Naming Context's) * Active Directory consists of three partitions or naming contexts (NC) ** Domain, Configuration and Schema Naming Contexts * Each are replicated independently * An Active Directory forest has single schema and configuration ** Every domain controller (DC) holds a copy of each (schema, configuration NC's) * Forest can have multiple domains ** Every domain controller in a domain holds a copy of the domain NC
Which naming context contains forest wide data about the physical topology of an active directory forest?
