How does Microsoft sql server work?

SQL Server is a database server. It is used to store data which is accessed using any number of methods. Generally, the data will sit on a server (or several server) machine while users access it from remote terminals.

What must at least one DNS server support when running Active Directory on your network?

,

basically it must support dynamic updates and SRV records. So it's possible to run the DNS server also on non-Microsoft implementations of DNS like BIND.

But when you use Microsoft DNS (built in Windows Server operating systems), you don't need to care whether it supports Active Directory - it simply does.

Can you connect Active Directory to other third - party directory services name a few options?

Yes. Microsoft Identity Integration Server (MIIS) is used to connect Active Directory to other 3rd-party Directory Services (including directories used by SAP, Domino, etc).

Yes We can Connect, by using dirxml and LDAP

What is the only real downside to using stub zones?

The stub zone is kept on a DNS server hosting a parent zone, and its only purpose is to identify the authoritative name servers in child zones. By keeping just this information at the ready, a DNS server is able to more efficiently route name resolution requests to the authoritative servers hosting the child zone files.

What is sql server?

Microsoft SQL Server is a relational database management system developed by Microsoft. As a database, it is a software product whose primary function is to store and retrieve data as requested by other software applications, be it those on the same computer or those running on another computer across a network (including the Internet). There are at least a dozen different editions of Microsoft SQL Server aimed at different audiences and for different workloads (ranging from small applications that store and retrieve data on the same computer, to millions of users and computers that access huge amounts of data from the Internet at the same time). Its primary query languages are T-SQL and ANSI SQL.

Can you run a two operating system on a single screen at the same time?

Two operating systems can be ran on the some computer provided that the computer's hard drive it broken down into more then one partition or there is more then one drive on the computer. There is a setting with in Windows that gives you a change log into an alternate operating system with in a set time frame or it will automatically log into Windows. You will not be able to run two operating systems on the same partition due to the fact that only one can load at a time. Also you need have a way of separating the file structures for each operating system. Some operating systems such as ubuntu will also let you access files from either operating if the drive has the right number of partitions.

Which folders cannot be shared Can you think of reasons why an opening system might not allow certain types of folders to be shared?

system folders or folder that contains sensitive info, security reasons because it may contain several data that if shared can cause the system to be penetrated or miss used. example: imagine if the lecturers folders in our college system is shared or accessible by any user so anyone can log into the marks files and modify them

How do we install active directory in a standalone system?

In a standalone..?? There is no point in installing an AD in a standalone machine. The whole idea of an AD is so you can manage your network from one single point, and that point being the AD.

However to install it, just open up a command window and run dcpromo.exe

How do you format your USB drive to FAT32?

Don't use DOS for large hard drives. Don't use Computer Management either.

Use:

http://tokiwa.qee.jp/EN/Fat32Formatter/index.HTML

Download and run as instructed.

This will format a drive of any size in one (or more if desired) partition. Remember that files larger that 4GB will not be recognised in FAT32 format. So break larger files up.

I ran mine in 'quick format' and it did it in seconds (otherwise it takes hours). Works perfectly.

Hope this helps.

What is the difference between OS and RTOS?

Linux and RTOS are two distinct concepts.

Linux is the name given to a specific operating system.

An RTOS (Real-Time Operating System) is a specially designed TYPE of Operating System. Where a 'normal' Operating Systems schedule resources/processing time to programs when they are available to the system, whereas an RTOS specializes in allowing programs to run in 'real time', meaning they are able to respond to changes (typically from an external source) as close to instantly as possible.

Typically, you would find an RTOS in situations where the computer has to react instantly to changes, such as an industrial control system or systems that monitor and control the power grid. If the operating system prevented the program from responding in a timely fashion, the program would be worthless.

Real-time Operating Systems are typically very small, optimized systems, whereas a standard OS is very large, feature-laden and has thousands of different features that run at once.

There IS a pared-down version of Linux known as "RTLinux" which falls into the category of an RTOS, but it's not the version of Linux most people are used to seeing. It's very purpose-build, optimized and fast, unusable by anyone but system designers who can work with such an OS.

What is intersite replication?

Replication between two sites is known as Intersite Replication. Since bandwidth two different sites is usually very limited, so intersite replication is used to manage and control replication traffic.

What is the OU active directory object?

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.

What object of active directory identifies its location within the directory structure?

Distinguished Name{DN)

A DN is a sequence of relative distinguished names (RDN) connected by commas.

An RDN is an attribute with an associated value in the form attribute=value; normally expressed in a UTF-8 string format

DC domainComponent

CN commonName

OU organizationalUnitName

O organizationName

STREET streetAddress

L localityName

ST stateOrProvinceName

C countryName

UID userid

examples of distinguished names.

What is the function of the active directory federation services?

Active Directory Federation Services(AD FS for short) is a software component developed by Microsoft that can be installed on Windows Server operating systems to provide users withSingle Sign-Onaccess to systems and applications located across organizational boundaries. It uses a claims-based access control authorization model to maintain application security and implementfederated identity.

Claims based authentication is the process of authenticating a user based on a set of claims about its identity contained in a trusted token. Such a token is often issued and signed by an entity that is able to authenticate the user by other means, and that is trusted by the entity doing the claims based authentication.

How do I get Crawler.com Off my computer?

First go to, start, control panel,add remove programs, and see if it is listed as a program,

if not follow the suggestion below.

I suggest you download Malwarebytes anti-malware, there is a free version.

Next, you need to get a better anti-virus then what you have now.

The manual way is to remove the registry keys associated with the toolbar, but this process is very long, and unless you know how to work inside your registry, its not a good idea.

How do you get the ip address on the printer?

If your printer is on your network and is set to get its ip by DHCP, your router's utility program ought to display the address. For instance, you would go to your router's ip (usually something like 192.168.0.1) and log into the router with the admin password and dig around for the list of devices that are connected.

In Windows you could also open the printer's control panel and find its network name. If you know its network name you open a command prompt and ping the name. In this example, you can see that the printer's name is "kodakaio":

C:\Users\JSB>ping kodakaio

Pinging kodakaio [192.168.0.103] with 32 bytes of data:

What is the difference between iterative queries and recursive queries of dns?

Recursive queries When a client system sends a recursive query to a local name server, that local name server must return the IP address for the friendly name entered, indicate that it can't find an address, or return an error saying that the requested address does not exist. Name servers do not refer the client system requesting a recursive query to other DNS servers. When answering recursive queries, the originating client does not receive address information directly from any DNS server other than the local name server. Typically, the local name server will first check DNS data from its own boot file, cache, database, or reverse lookup file. If the server is unsuccessful in obtaining the answer from those local sources, it may contact other DNS servers for assistance using iterative queries and then pass the information it receives back to the client that originated the name resolution request. Iterative queries In iterative queries, name servers return the best information they have. Although a DNS server may not know the IP address for a given friendly name, it might know the IP address of another name server likely to have the IP address being sought, so it sends that information back. The response to an iterative query can be likened to a DNS server saying, "I don't have the IP address you seek, but the name server at 10.1.2.3 can tell you." The process is straightforward. Here's one example in which a local name server uses iterative queries to resolve an address for a client: The local name server receives a name resolution request from a client system for a friendly name (such as www.techrepublic.com). The local name server checks its records. If it finds the address, it returns it to the client. If no address is found, the local name server proceeds to the next step. The local name server sends an iterative request to the root (the "." in .com) name server. The root name server provides the local name server with the address for the top-level domain (.com, .net, etc.) server. The local name server sends an iterative query to the top-level domain server. The top-level domain server replies with the IP address of the name server that manages the friendly name's domain (such as techrepublic.com). The local name server sends an iterative request to the friendly name's domain name server. The friendly name's domain name server provides the IP address for the friendly name (www.techrepublic.com) being sought. The local name server passes that IP address to the client. It seems complicated, but the process completes in a matter of moments. Or, if an address isn't found, a 404 error message is returned to the client.

What is the benefit of using a cheap Windows dedicated server?

Windows shared hosting offers some of the same benefits as Linux hosting, its main benefit is that it can handle Microsoft technologies. If one knows the Windows operating, a Windows based server will have less of a learning curve.
