What is trust in Windows Server 2003?
trust is used for different domains we can log-in to different users this known as
trust
trust divided 3 types
1 one way incoming
2 one way outgoing
3 two way trust
When the computer is a domain client then secure log on is required?
Yes, if the client is part of the domain then the standard procedure is to log into the domain, which requires a secure login.
However, the client could also log on locally to the machine, not the domain, in which case the log on requirements are not as strict.
An autorenewal is an automatic renewal, a situation in which subscription to a service is renewed automatically at regular intervals before expiration.
What are two group types and three group scopes?
â– Security groups Security groups are used to group domain users into a single administrative unit. Security groups can be assigned permissions and can also be used as e-mail distribution lists. Users placed into a group inherit the permissions assigned to the group for as long as they remain members of that group. Windows itself uses only security groups.
â– Distribution groups These are used for nonsecurity purposes by applications other than Windows. One of the primary uses is within an e-mail
As with user accounts, there are both local and domain-level groups. Local groups are stored in a local computer's security database and are intended to control resource access on that computer. Domain groups are stored in Active Directory and let you gather users and control resource access in a domain and on domain controllers
Group scopes determine where in the Active Directory forest a group is accessible and what objects can be placed into the group. Windows Server 2003 includes three group scopes: global, domain local, and universal.
â– Global groups are used to gather users that have similar permissions requirements. Global groups have the following characteristics:
1. Global groups can contain user and computer accounts only from the domain in which the global group is created.
2. When the domain functional level is set to Windows 2000 native or Windows Server 2003 (i.e., the domain contains only Windows 2000 or 2003 servers), global groups can also contain other global groups from the local domain.
3. Global groups can be assigned permissions or be added to local groups in any domain in a forest.
â– Domain local groups exist on domain controllers and are used to control access to resources located on domain controllers in the local domain (for member servers and workstations, you use local groups on those systems instead). Domain local groups share the following characteristics:
1. Domain local groups can contain users and global groups from any domain in a forest no matter what functional level is enabled.
2. When the domain functional level is set to Windows 2000 native or Windows Server 2003, domain local groups can also contain other domain local groups and universal groups.
â– Universal groups are normally used to assign permissions to related resources in multiple domains. Universal groups share the following characteristics:
1. Universal groups are available only when the forest functional level is set to Windows 2000 native or Windows Server 2003.
2. Universal groups exist outside the boundaries of any particular domain and are managed by Global Catalog servers.
3. Universal groups are used to assign permissions to related resources in multiple domains.
4. Universal groups can contain users, global groups, and other universal groups from any domain in a forest.
5. You can grant permissions for a universal group to any resource in any domain

Is the SAM located on the domain controller?
Yes its is located but replaced by another Smaller SAM database
SAM Accounts on a Windows 2000 Server That Becomes a Domain Controller
When you install Active Directory on a computer that is running Windows 2000 Server to create a domain controller, you can either create a new domain or configure the domain controller to contain a copy of an existing domain. In both cases, the existing registry key that contains the SAM database is deleted and is replaced by a new, smaller SAM database. The security principals in this database are used only when the server is started in Directory Services Restore Mode.
The disposition of the security principals in the SAM database on the server is different in each case, as follows:
If you create an additional domain controller in an existing domain, the security accounts in the existing SAM database on the server are deleted. The accounts from the existing domain are replicated to Active Directory on the new domain controller.
If you create a new domain, the security accounts in the existing SAM database are preserved as follows:
User accounts become user objects in Active Directory.
Local groups in the account domain become group objects in Active Directory. The group type indicates a local group.
Built-in local groups become group objects in Active Directory. The group type indicates a built-in local group. These groups retain their constant SIDs and are stored in the Builtin container.
How can you monitor what websites users visit in Windows 2003 server Or get a report of it?
One can try with third party tool Admin Report Kit for IIS 4.x / 5.x / 6.x (ARKIIS)http://www.vyapin.com/products/enterprisenetworktools/arkiis6.htm
I like to work with exchange server, but one day something happened with my data. That day I was lucky and rapidly found out a probable solution, which might be suitable for this situation.
When you become unable to access contacts, emails, notes and other stored data then the need to have Quick and complete recovery of exchange serverarises. For this you can use exchange server recovery software. This software is capable enough to resolve entire related problem.
What are the differences between Windows Clustering Network Load?
The difference is that Windows Clustering provides three different, but complementary, clustering technologies. The clustering technologies, which ship in a number of different products, can be used separately or combined to provide scalable and highly-available services and Network Load Balancing to enhance the scalability and availability of server applications. Applications that can take advantage of Network Load Balancing include Web services like HTTP and File Transfer Protocol (FTP) (using Internet Information Services (IIS)), firewall and proxy (using ISA 2000), virtual private networking, Windows Media Services, Mobile Information Server, and Terminal Services. Network Load Balancing can also help you scale your server's performance to keep up with the increasing demands of your Internet-based clients. A new Network Load Balancing feature is Network Load Balancing Manager. Network Load Balancing Manager allows you to create, configure, and manage all hosts of a Network Load Balancing cluster from a single computer.A diferença é que o Windows Clustering oferece três diferentes, mas complementares, clustering tecnologias. O agrupamento tecnologias, que um navio em número de produtos diferentes, podem ser utilizadas separadamente ou combinadas para proporcionar escalável e altamente disponível serviços e Balanceamento de Carga de Rede para aumentar a escalabilidade e disponibilidade de aplicações de servidor. As aplicações que podem tirar partido de Balanceamento de Carga de Rede incluir serviços da Web como HTTP e FTP (File Transfer Protocol) (usando o Internet Information Services (IIS)), firewall e proxy (utilizando o ISA 2000), rede privada virtual, o Windows Media Services, Mobile Information Server e Terminal Services. Balanceamento de Carga de Rede também pode ajudá-lo a escala de desempenho do seu servidor para acompanhar as crescentes exigências de seus clientes com base na Internet. Uma nova característica é Network Load Balancing Network Load Balancing Manager. Network Load Balancing Manager permite-lhe criar, configurar e gerenciar todos OS hosts de um cluster de Balanceamento de Carga de Rede um único computador.
How many different functional levels are there for domains?
There are four domain functional levels for Windows Server 2003:

Who are the external users accounting?
External users are anybody and everybody. There are primary, secondary and tertiary in terms of how they can influence a company (usually publicly listed). But everyone is an external user. What is apparent today, people have the right to question a company even if they are not a shareholder because all companies influence and affect the world we live in. Hence shareholder activism is growing! The responsibility of companies is increasing, in terms of financial, environmental etc...
An Ad Server uses technology to place advertisements on to individual websites. The technology allows the number of views can be monitored to ensure that the advertisements are appropriate to the users of the website.
The default tombstone lifetime is 60 days for forests initially built using Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003, and 180 days for forests that were initially built with Windows Server 2003 SP1. You can change the tombstone lifetime by setting the tombstoneLifetime attribute of the CN=Directory Service,CN=Windows NT, CN=Services,CN=Configuration, DC=<root domain> object. Every 12 hours, each domain controller starts a garbage collection process. (This can be changed by setting a new value for the garbageCollPeriod attribute of the CN=Directory Service,CN=Windows NT, CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=<root domain> object.) This garbage collection scans all of the tombstones on the DC and physically deletes any that are older than the tombstone lifetime.
Why would a network administrator choose to unbind a protocol on a server?
Typically if a protocol is no longer in use on a network then it would be unbound from the interface, both on servers and on clients.

What is mirroring in sql server 2008?
Database mirroring maintains two copies of a single database that must reside on different server instances of SQL Server Database Engine. Typically, these server instances reside on computers in different locations. Starting database mirroring on a database, initiates a relationship, known as a database mirroring session, between these server instances
Database mirroring involves redoing every insert, update, and delete operation that occurs on the principal database onto the mirror database as quickly as possible. Redoing is accomplished by sending a stream of active transaction log records to the mirror server, which applies log records to the mirror database, in sequence, as quickly as possible. Unlike replication, which works at the logical level, database mirroring works at the level of the physical log record. Beginning in SQL Server 2008, the principal server compresses the stream of transaction log records before sending it to the mirror server. This log compression occurs in all mirroring sessions
What must be done to an AD forest before Exchange can be deployed?

Can Windows Home Server join an existing domain?
yes, you just have to copy and paste a virus, deflect it and send it through the system.
Why do we need domain controller?
a domain controller (DCO) is a server that responds to security authentication requests (logging in, checking permissions, etc.) within the Windows Server domain
