What domain will be the forest root domain in a multiple-domain installation with a single forest?
In a multiple-domain installation with a single forest, the forest root domain is typically the first domain created during the forest setup. It acts as the primary domain that holds the schema and configuration partitions, serving as the foundation for all other domains within the forest. This root domain is often given a unique name, such as "root.local," and is crucial for managing trust relationships and policies across the other domains.
Active Directory organizes multiple domains hierarchically in a domain?
Active Directory organizes multiple domains hierarchically in a forest. A forest is the top-level structure in Active Directory that contains multiple domains. Each domain within a forest has its own security policies and trust relationships with other domains in the forest.
A network that links a business with its customers suppliers and other business partners is called?
A network that consists of multiple domains within the network environment are referred to as a "Forest". An example of this would be a domain named x.com & a domain named y.com that are joined together in a trust relationship to form a multiple domain network, or a "Forest".
Can you have multiple schema master or multiple PDC emulators in the same domain or forest?
No, you cannot have multiple schema masters or multiple PDC emulators in the same domain or forest. Each Active Directory forest has only one schema master, which is responsible for managing changes to the schema, and only one PDC emulator per domain, which acts as a primary time source and handles password changes and group policy updates. Having multiple instances of these roles would lead to conflicts and inconsistencies within the directory.
What is forest and domain?
A domain is a logical grouping of devices in a single name and can be administered as a group. Domains are assigned to companies or subdivisions within companies. A forest is a collection of domain trees. A forest could contain domains from multiple sites, such as a parent company maintaining control over several acquired companies with different domain names.
What is the first domain installed in a new active directory forest called?
Forest root domain
What has a trust relationship with each domain in an Active Directory forest with every other domain in the forest?
two-way transitive for domain in the same forest
Which naming context contains forest wide data about the physical topology of an 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
What is domain trust relationship?
Each Domain in a active directory forest has a what kind trust relationship with every other domain in a forest?
What is difference between forest and a domain in AD?
The term 'domain' is too general to compare to the idea of a forest. A domain and the AD can be a part of a forest. This includes; domain controllers, child domains, domain functionality, replicators, directory service and so on. The concept of creating a forest was first introduced in the windows 2003 AD architecture. Suffice to say interoperability with server 2000 and NT (which do not recognize the forest) poses limitations and security issues. Hence four levels of functionality. Some are, in my opinion, basically unsound with regards to the security levels of a forest. A forest is not to be taken lightly. It requires much research and preparation. The term 'domain' applies across the board in a forest. Moreover, a forest relies on security. The PC you start the first installation of a forest will be considered the root and will hold the high level admins such as the enterprise and schema admins. Making forest trusts (only on root domain) facilitates communications between domains and ADs that share the same SPN (service principle name) which have to be resolved at a remote location in another forest. The configuration also requires IAS, Kerberos, UPN, SPD, SID namespaces .... What am I forgetting? Thinking about configuring the root forest on the first PC makes you dizzy with abbreviations acronyms, protocols, group security, etc ... Comprehensive research and planning are crucial. Managing forests and domain is hard enough as it is. I'd say this basic principle of security properties could be considered the largest difference between a 'forest' and a 'domain'.
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
What is the name of the first domain in an Active Directory tree?
The first is the parent domain, and everything after that is a child domain. So you might have something like. parent.local this would be the first domain of the parent domain child.parent.local is the second or child domain
