Which functional level only allows Windows Server 2003 and Windows 2008 domain controllers?
The functional level that only allows Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 domain controllers is the Windows Server 2003 functional level. At this level, the Active Directory domain can utilize features introduced in Windows Server 2003 while maintaining compatibility with the earlier Windows 2000 domain controllers. However, it does not support any domain controllers running versions newer than 2008.
Which domain functional level can support both windows 2003 domains and windows nt 4 domains A. Windows 2000 mixed B. Windows 2000 native C. windows 2003 interim D. windows server 2003?
Windows Server 2003 interimSupported domain controllers: Windows NT 4.0, Windows Server 2003Supported features: There are no domain-wide features activated at this level. All domains in a forest are automatically raised to this level when the forest level increases to interim. This mode is only used when you upgrade domain controllers in Windows NT 4.0 domains to Windows Server 2003 domain controllers.
What is associated with installing the first domain controller in a forest of 2008?
Considerations when Installing a new Windows Server 2008 forestWhen you install AD to create the first domain controller in a new Windows Server 2008 forest, you must keep the following considerations in mind: You must make forest and domain functional level decisions that determine whether your forest and domain can contain domain controllers that run Windows 2000 Server, Windows Server 2003, or both. To read more about forest and domain functional levels please refer to the links below.Domain controllers running the Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 operating system are NOT supported with Windows Server 2008.Servers running Windows NT Server 4.0 are NOT supported by domain controllers that are running Windows Server 2008, meaning you MUST have additional DCs running Windows 2000/2003 to support older NT 4.0 servers.The first Windows Server 2008 domain controller in a forest must be a global catalog server and it cannot be an RODC.
What are attributes on a windows server 2003?
Answer: Supported domain controllers: Windows Server 2003 Supported features: domain controller rename, logon timestamp attribute updated and replicated. User password support on the InetOrgPerson objectClass. Constrained delegation, you can redirect the Users and Computers containers.
What is Dcdiag?
This command-line tool analyzes the state of one or all domain controllers in a forest and reports any problems to assist in troubleshooting. DCDiag.exe consists of a variety of tests that can be run individually or as part of a suite to verify domain controller health.Tool locationThe DCDiag command-line tool is included when you install Windows Server 2003 Support Tools from the product CD or from the Microsoft Download Center(http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=100114). For more information about how to install Windows Support Tools, see Install Windows Support Tools(http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=62270).Tool requirementsExcept as noted below, all commands in DCDiag can be run on Windows XP Professional and Windows Server 2003 family (member servers and domain controllers).The new DCDIAG /TEST:DNS command can validate DNS health of Windows 2000 Server (SP3 or later) or Windows Server 2003 family domain controllers when run from the console of Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 member computers or Windows Server 2003 domain controllers.
What domain controllers can be joined to a forest that is currently set at the Windows Server 2008 forest funtional level?

Requirement of dns in domain controler?
When you install Active Directory on a member server, the member server is promoted to a domain controller. Active Directory uses DNS as the location mechanism for domain controllers, enabling computers on the network to obtain IP addresses of domain controllers. During the installation of Active Directory, the service (SRV) and address (A) resource records are dynamically registered in DNS, which are necessary for the successful functionality of the domain controller locator (Locator) mechanism. To find domain controllers in a domain or forest, a client queries DNS for the SRV and A DNS resource records of the domain controller, which provide the client with the names and IP addresses of the domain controllers. In this context, the SRV and A resource records are referred to as Locator DNS resource records. When adding a domain controller to a forest, you are updating a DNS zone hosted on a DNS server with the Locator DNS resource records and identifying the domain controller. For this reason, the DNS zone must allow dynamic updates (RFC 2136) and the DNS server hosting that zone must support the SRV resource records (RFC 2782) to advertise the Active Directory directory service. For more information about RFCs, see DNS RFCs. If the DNS server hosting the authoritative DNS zone is not a server running Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003, contact your DNS administrator to determine if the DNS server supports the required standards. If the server does not support the required standards, or the authoritative DNS zone cannot be configured to allow dynamic updates, then modification is required to your existing DNS infrastructure.
What do you do to install a new Windows 2003 DC in a Windows 2000 AD?
If you plan to install windows 2003 server domain controllers into an existing windows 2000 domain or upgrade a windows 2000 domain controllers to windows server 2003, you first need to run the Adprep.exe utility on the windows 2000 domain controllers currently holding the schema master and infrastructure master roles. The adprep / forestprer command must first be issued on the windows 2000 server holding schema master role in the forest root doman to prepare the existing schema to support windows 2003 active directory. The adprep /domainprep command must be issued on the sever holding the infrastructure master role in the domain where 2000 server will be deployed
What type of name resolution is required to install Active Directory on a windows server?
To install Active Directory on a Windows Server, a proper DNS (Domain Name System) name resolution is required. The server must have a DNS server configured, as Active Directory relies on DNS for locating domain controllers and other resources within the domain. It's essential that the server can resolve its own name and the names of other domain controllers in the environment. Additionally, the DNS zone for the domain should be properly set up to facilitate name resolution.
What is a Single Label domain name and what sort of issues can it cause?
Single-label names consist of a single word like "contoso". • Single-label DNS names cannot be registered by using an Internet registrar. • Client computers and domain controllers that joined to single-label domains require additional configuration to dynamically register DNS records in single-label DNS zones. • Client computers and domain controllers may require additional configuration to resolve DNS queries in single-label DNS zones. • By default, Windows Server 2003-based domain members, Windows XP-based domain members, and Windows 2000-based domain members do not perform dynamic updates to single-label DNS zones. • Some server-based applications are incompatible with single-label domain names. Application support may not exist in the initial release of an application, or support may be dropped in a future release. For example, Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 is not supported in environments in which single-label DNS is used. • Some server-based applications are incompatible with the domain rename feature that is supported in Windows Server 2003 domain controllers and in Windows Server 2008 domain controllers. These incompatibilities either block or complicate the use of the domain rename feature when you try to rename a single-label DNS name to a fully qualified domain name.
Describe the importance of DNS to AD?
When you install Active Directory on a server, you promote the server to the role of a domain controller for a specified domain. When completing this process, you are prompted to specify a DNS domain name for the Active Directory domain for which you are joining and promoting the server.If during this process, a DNS server authoritative for the domain that you specified either cannot be located on the network or does not support the DNS dynamic update protocol, you are prompted with the option to install a DNS server. This option is provided because a DNS server is required to locate this server or other domain controllers for members of an Active Directory domain
What bridgehead server in Active Directory?
The bridgehead server is a domain controller that has been either administratively assigned or automatically chosen to replicate changes collected from other domain controllers in the site to bridgehead servers in other sites.
