How can you downgrade a computer running Windows Server 2008 to Windows Server 2003 R2?
Hi, You cannot downgrade an operating system. You will have to nuke the hard drive and reload from the beginning. This is a tough one to do because you have to back-up everything you want to keep and make sure you have all the drivers for everything in your computer. Let me know if you have any questions. -Nitin Answer: Answer:
1: What you will receive: One copy of the applicable Windows Server downgrade software and associated product key. 2: The Downgrade Media Kit is not a new license for Windows Server. It may only be run under a valid license per the terms of those license terms. For example, a copy of Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition may be run under a Windows Server 2008 license as permitted by the Downgrade rights described in that license. Check the applicable license terms for specific information regarding the rights for the license. 3: Transfer rights apply to the original license you purchased. 4: Only 1 downgrade media kit per license. 5: The terms of this offer may be changed at any time without notice including, without limitation, the expiration date. 6: There is a fee for this upgrade to cover materials, shipping, handling, and fulfillment overhead. The fee will vary depending on your location. The amount will be presented to you prior to final submission of your order. At that time, you will have the opportunity to opt out before final order submission. The fee is non-refundable. 7: OEM Customers: If you acquired your license with a new server from a server manufacturer, the downgrade software acquired through this program may not be supported by your OEM. Contact your server manufacturer for its support policy for running downgrade software on their server hardware.

What are authoritative dns server and none authoritative dns server?
authoritative dns server is server that has own databases that has name resolution for the clients that for resolve from name to ip address and for ip address to name.
non-authorititative dns server is server that forward request of dns client to authoritative dns server for resolve.
Why is dns a requirement for active directory to work?
DNS is extremely important to all aspects of proper Active Directory operation. Any time a client makes a request for a domain service, it must find a domain controller to service that request, which is where DNS comes in to play.
There are two types of DNS queries: recursive and iterative.
When a DNS client requests DNS information, it uses a recursive query to do so.
In a recursive query, the DNS client sends its query to the first DNS server that it has been configured for in its TCP/IP configuration. It then sits and waits for the server to return an answer. If the server returns a positive response, the client will then go to the IP address returned by the server.
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
What is another name for server?
A rack or collection of hardware, the software is the component that makes it a server. What software/protocol depends on the type of server: DNS, Mail, Web servers etc.

What can you do to promote a server to DC if you are on a remote location with slow WAN link?
First available in Windows 2003, you will create a copy of the system state from an existing DC and copy it to the new remote server. Run "Dcpromo /adv". You will be prompted for the location of the system state files
===================================
Answer B:
Backup system state as;
- Click Start, click Run, type ntbackup, and then click OK. (If the Backup utility starts in wizard mode, click the Advanced Mode hyperlink.)
- From the Backup tab, click to select the System State check box in the left pane. Do not back up the file system part of the SYSVOL tree separately from the system state backup.
- In the Backup media or file name box, specify the drive, path, and file name of the system state backup.
Restore system stat as below on the target computer;
- Log on to the Windows Server 2003-based computer that you want to promote. You must be a member of the local administrators group on this computer.
- Click Start, click Run, type ntbackup, and then click OK. (If the Backup utility starts in wizard mode, click the Advanced Mode hyperlink.)
- In the Backup utility, click the Restore and Manage Media tab. In the Tools menu, click Catalog a backup file..., and then locate the .bkf file that you created earlier. Click OK.
- Expand the contents of the .bkf file, and then click to select the System State check box.
- In Restore files to:, click Alternate Location. To restore the system state, type the logical drive and the path. We suggest that you type X:\Ntdsrestore. In this command, X is the logical drive that will ultimately host the Active Directory database when the member computer is promoted. The final location for the Active Directory database is selected when you run the Active Directory Installation Wizard. This folder must be different from the folder that contains the restored system state.
- Verify that the domain controller that is to be promoted has DNS name resolution and network connectivity to existing domain controllers in the domain controller's target domain.
- Click Start, click Run, type dcpromo /adv, and then click OK.
- Click Next to bypass the Welcome to the Active Directory Installation Wizard and Operating System Compatibility dialog boxes.
- On the Domain Controller Type page, click Additional domain controller for an existing domain, and then click Next.
- On the Copying Domain Information page, click From these restored backup files:, and then type the logical drive and the path of the alternative location where the system state backup was restored. Click Next.
- In Network Credentials, type the user name, the password, and the domain name of an account that is a member of the domain administrators group for the domain that you are promoting in.
- Continue with the remainder of the Active Directory Installation Wizard pages as you would with the standard promotion of an additional domain controller.
- After the SYSVOL tree has replicated in, and the SYSVOL share exists, delete any remaining restored system files and folders.

Time-to-Live (TTL)
The DNS System powers the Internet as we know it today and is responsible for converting domain names into IP addresses and for placing them on the correct hosting server. But the DNS system would have been just a theoretical concept, if TTL was not presented.
TTL is an acronym for Time To Live and refers to the capability of the DNS servers to cache DNS records. It represents the amount of time that a DNS record for a certain host remains in the cache memory of a DNS server after the latter has located the host's matching IP address.
By specifying TTL settings for a particular domain's DNS records, webmasters define the frequency of website content updates. The longer the TTL value is, the faster the domain resolution time periods will be. The TTL value can be set from one to several hours, if you are not planning any changes to your domain's DNS records in the meantime. If you need to make such changes, you will have to decrease the TTL value entry to several minutes to avoid any outdated data on your website.
TTL values are entered as seconds and the common TTL time value is 86400 seconds, which is virtually equal to one day (24 hours). With this value set for your domain, any changes to your DNS records will be reflected online in up to 24 hour
Difference between windows xp and server 2003?
Note: There is Lot of difference win XP & win server 2003. Xp is a client operating systems. but win 2003 is a server. we can not install active directory in Xp. but we install active directorey win server 2003. we can not manage centralize Win xp. but we manage centralize Win server 2003.

What is organizational unit in active directory?
Domain: A security boundary for the network On a local area network (LAN), a domain is a subnetwork made up of a group of clients and servers under the control of one central security database. Within a domain, users authenticate once to a centralized server known as a domain controller, rather than repeatedly authenticating to individual servers and services. Individual servers and services accept the user based on the approval of the domain controller. Organisational Unit: A part of Active Directory used to Organise and Manage the objects of AD An organizational unit (OU) is a subdivision within an Active Directory into which you can place users, groups, computers, and other organizational units. You can create organizational units to mirror your organization's functional or business structure. Each domain can implement its own organizational unit hierarchy. If your organization contains several domains, you can create organizational unit structures in each domain that are independent of the structures in the other domains. The term "organizational unit" is often called as "OU" in casual conversation. "Container" is also often applied in its place, even in Microsoft's own documentation. All terms are considered correct and interchangeable.
Talk about all the AD-related roles in Windows Server 2008 R2?
Windows Server 2008 has five Active directory related roles. below are the list
1. Active Directory Domain Services (Identity): AD DS it provides the functionality of an identity and access (IDA) solution for enterprise networks. It also provides the mechanisms to support, manage, and configure resources in distribution network environments.
2. Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (Applications): AD LDS formerly known as Active directory application mode (ADAM), provides support for directory-enabled applications.
3. Active Directory Certificate Services (Trust): AD CS to set up a certificate authority for issuing digital certificates as a part of a public key infrastructure (PKI) that binds the identity of a person, device or service to corresponding private key. Certificates can be used to authenticate users and computers, provide web-based authentication, support smart card authentication, and support application, including secure wireless n/w, vpn, Ipsec, EFS, and more.
4. Active Directory Rights management Services (Integrity): AD RMS is an information-protection technology that enables you to implement persistent usage policy templates (for documents) that define allowed and unauthorized use whether online, offline, inside, or outside the firewall.
5. Active Directory Federation Services (Partnership): AD FS enable an organization to extend IDA across multiple platforms, including both window and non-windows environments, and to project identity and access rights across security boundaries to trusted partners.
