As A Networking Administrator what are the daily responsibilities in Active Directory Services?
Active Directory contains information about the resources of a domain, usually available via a network. Therefore the duties and responsibilities would be for creation and maintenance of passwords, group policies of the domain, group membership of users, and other duties of that nature.
2) AS A NETWORK ADMIN, YOU SHOULD CHECK REPLICATION BETWEEN SERVERS IS HAPPENING PROPERLY OR NOT

What DNS domain record is used to identify domain controllers?
Hi guys my name is KUDRAT ALI the answer is as follows ....
DNS Records are..
HOST RECORD: Where Name is mapped to IP, hosted by Forward lookup zone.
SRV (service) RECORD: Where has service location record like (port and IP). Hosted by forward lookup zone.
PTR (Pointer) RECORD: Where IP is mapped to name.Hosted by reverse lookup zone
NS (name server) RECORD: Where DNS servers information and hosted by both frw lookup and reverse lookup zone.
SOA (start of authority) : Where updated made and replications made on bases of version numbers are stored hosted by both fwd look up n reverse look up zone..

What is multiple-master replication?
Single-master replication can make it difficult for administrators to manage Active Directory objects, especially if they are located in remote offices and must work over a slow wide area network (WAN) link. To address this problem, Active Directory uses multiple-master replication, in which it is possible to make changes to domain objects on any domain controller, which replicates those changes to all of the other domain controllers.
What is a PasswordSettingsObject within an Active Directory also known as?
well, if you flip it 4 times then the probability of getting heads is a half, so two.

Before you complete this procedure, one needs to verify that this aprticular domain controller is not the only global catalog and that it does not hold any operations master role
reboot the PC it becomes member server
Is it cost effective for a backup domain controller?
That depends entirely on the business model of the domain. The point of a BDC is to eliminate down time, and in smaller companies or companies that do not rely heavily on their computer network, downtime is not an issue and the extra cost involved with the BDC does not outweigh its usage.

What is a read only domain controller Or RODC?
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.
Read-only domain controllers (RODCs) in Active Directory, intended for use in branch office or other scenarios where a domain controller may reside in a low physical security environment. The RODC holds a non-writeable copy of Active Directory, and redirects all write attempts to a Full Domain Controller. It replicates all accounts except sensitive ones.In RODC mode, credentials are not cached by default. Moreover, only the replication partner of the RODC needs to run Windows Server 2008. Also, local administrators can log on to the machine to perform maintenance tasks without requiring administrative rights on the domain.
The DNS Server Role and the active directory is not installed till the adds service is started on the server 2008.if the service is not started(one needs to check the option under roles of the server)the active directory installation wont happen.this feature is only in 2008 not in 2003.The active directory works as service in 2008

Which type of server assigns ip addresses to clients on a temporary or lease basis?
The DHCP server (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
What is DHCP?Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network protocol that enables a server to automatically assign an IP address to a computer from a defined range of numbers (i.e., a scope) configured for a given network.DHCP assigns an IP address when a system is started, for example:
- A user turns on a computer with a DHCP client.
- The client computer sends a broadcast request (called a DISCOVER or DHCPDISCOVER), looking for a DHCP server to answer.
- The router directs the DISCOVER packet to the correct DHCP server.
- The server receives the DISCOVER packet. Based on availability and usage policies set on the server, the server determines an appropriate address (if any) to give to the client. The server then temporarily reserves that address for the client and sends back to the client an OFFER (or DHCPOFFER) packet, with that address information. The server also configures the client's DNS servers, WINS servers, NTP servers, and sometimes other services as well.
- The client sends a REQUEST (or DHCPREQUEST) packet, letting the server know that it intends to use the address.
- The server sends an ACK (or DHCPACK) packet, confirming that the client has a been given a lease on the address for a server-specified period of time.
