What is the transfer of information among domain controllers to make sure all domain controllers have consistent and up-to-date information?
Replication
Which group members can backup and restore data on all domain controllers?
ADMIN
Can you have more then on domain controller in an Active Directory domain that is writeable?
Yes all domain controllers 2003, 2008 are writable except when its 2008 RODC..
Can Domains have many primary domain controllers?
No the reason it's called a primary Domain Controller is because it's the one controller that has all the domain names and address for that Domain.
What is the SYSVOL folder?
All active directory data base security related information store in SYSVOL folder and its only created on NTFS partition. B: The Sysvol folder on a Windows domain controller is used to replicate file-based data among domain controllers. Because junctions are used within the Sysvol folder structure, Windows NT file system (NTFS) version 5.0 is required on domain controllers throughout a Windows distributed file system (DFS) forest. This is a quote from Microsoft themselves, basically the domain controller info stored in files like your group policy stuff is replicated through this folder structure
What is KCC in active directory?
knowledge consistency checker- it generates the replication topology by specifying what domain controllers will replicate to which other domain controllers in the site. The KCC maintains a list of connections, called a replication topology, to other domain controllers in the site. The KCC ensures that changes to any object are replicated to all site domain controllers and updates go through no more than three connections. Also an administrator can configure connection objects.
What is knowledge consistency checker KCC in windows server 2003?
The KCC is a built-in process that runs on all domain controllers and generates replication topology for the Active Directory forest. The KCC creates separate replication topologies depending on whether replication is occurring within a site (intrasite) or between sites (intersite). The KCC also dynamically adjusts the topology to accommodate new domain controllers, domain controllers moved to and from sites, changing costs and schedules, and domain controllers that are temporarily unavailable.
What does the sysvol folder stores in an active directory?
The sysVOL folder stores the server's copy of the domain's public files. The contents such as group policy, users etc of the sysvol folder are replicated to all domain controllers in the domain. The sysvol folder must be located on an NTFS volume The article describes how to use the Burflags registry entry to rebuild each domain controller's copy of the system volume (SYSVOL) tree on all domain controllers in a common Active Directory directory service domain. The term SYSVOL refers to a set of files and folders that reside on the local hard disk of each domain controller in a domain and that are replicated by the File Replication service (FRS). Network clients access the contents of the SYSVOL tree by using the following shared folders:
Is there only one domain controller in an active directory domain that is writeable or are the rest read only?
All primary Domain Controllers have read and write privilages. Only the backup copies are read only.
Which rodcs do not participate?
One of the new features receiving close attention in Windows 2008 is a new breed of domain controllers referred to as Read-Only Domain Controllers, also known as RODCs. The RODC hosts a copy of the Active Directory (AD) database like any other writable domain controller, but as its name implies, the contents replica of the domain database residing on the domain controller is read-only and write operations are not supported. It is equally important to mention that the RODCs do not participate in Active directory replication in the same fashion as writable domain controllers. The fundamental difference between RODC replication and the typical multimaster replication model between writable domain controllers is that RODCs replication is unidirectional. This means all changes from a writable domain controller are propagated to the RODCs. As a result, the RODC receives changes, but does not partake in or perform outbound replication with other domain controllers.
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
In which folder do scripts have to be stored to ensure proper functioning and replication to all domain controllers?
They are stored i the Sysvol folder for easier replication
