What is the schema in AD?
The schema is the Active Directory component that defines all the objects and attributes that the directory service uses to store data.
What does Active Directory use to allow administrators to query and modify users groups and computers?
The DS tools consist of the following commands DSQUERY - search for active directory objects matching criteria DSGET - retrieves selected attributes from active directory objects DSMOD - modify attributes for one or more active directory objects DSADD - create active directory objects DSMOVE - move active directory objects DSRM - removes/deletes active directory objects
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.
What types of active directory objects are not container objects?
user
What defines the types of objects that can be created within active directory such as user and printer objects?
The Active Directory Schema defines the types of user,printer objects to be created in the domain
Which is the directory which stores the information about objects?
LDAP
The directory containing information about objects?
Domain
Which directory partition contains all objects in a domain?
Contains a < domain > container (for example, the abc.com container), which stores users, computers, groups, and other objects for a specific Windows 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.
What is directory schema?
The Active Directory schema defines the kinds of objects, the types of information about those objects, and the default security configuration for those objects that can be stored in Active Directory. The Active Directory schema contains the formal definitions of all objects, such as users, computers, and printers that are stored in Active Directory. On domain controllers running either Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003, there is only one schema for an entire forest. This way, all objects that are created in Active Directory conform to the same rules. The schema has two types of definitions: object classes and attributes. Object classes such as user, computer, and printer describe the possible directory objects that you can create. Each object class is a collection of attributes. Attributes are defined separately from object classes. Each attribute is defined only once and can be used in multiple object classes. For example, the Description attribute is used in many object classes, but is defined only once in the schema to ensure consistency.
The directory containing information about objects in a domain?

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
