What does the sysvol folder stores in an active directory?
The sysVOL folder stores the server's copy of the domain's public files. The contents such as group policy, users etc of the sysvol folder are replicated to all domain controllers in the domain.
The sysvol folder must be located on an NTFS volume The article describes how to use the Burflags registry entry to rebuild each domain controller's copy of the system volume (SYSVOL) tree on all domain controllers in a common Active Directory directory service domain. The term SYSVOL refers to a set of files and folders that reside on the local hard disk of each domain controller in a domain and that are replicated by the File Replication service (FRS).
Network clients access the contents of the SYSVOL tree by using the following shared folders:

What is active directory schema?
All databases have a schema which is a formal definition (set of rules) which govern the database structure and types of objects and attributes which can be contained in the database. The schema contains a list of all classes and attributes in the forest.
The schema keeps track of:
- Classes
- Class attributes
- Class relationships such as subclasses (Child classes that inherit attributes from the super class) and super classes (Parent classes).
- Object relationships such as what objects are contained by other objects or what objects contain other objects.
There is a class Schema object for each class in the Active Directory database. For each object attribute in the database, there is an attributeSchema object.
PartitionsActive Directory objects are stored in the Directory Information Tree (DIT) which is broken into the following partitions:
- Schema partition - Defines rules for object creation and modification for all objects in the forest. Replicated to all domain controllers in the forest. Replicated to all domain controllers in the forest, it is known as an enterprise partition.
- Configuration partition - Information about the forest directory structure is defined including trees, domains, domain trust relationships, and sites (TCP/IP subnet group). Replicated to all domain controllers in the forest, it is known as an enterprise partition.
- Domain partition - Has complete information about all domain objects (Objects that are part of the domain including OUs, groups, users and others). Replicated only to domain controllers in the same domain.
- Partial domain directory partition - Has a list of all objects in the directory with a partial list of attributes for each object.
The DIT holds a subset of Active Directory information and stores enough information to start and run the Active Directory service
What are the partitions in Active Directory?
1.-schema partition
2.-configuration partition
3.-domain partition
4.-application partition
objectGUID property
unique security identifiers (SIDs)
Each object represents a single entity-whether a user, a computer, a printer, or a group-and its attributes. Certain objects can contain other objects. An object is uniquely identified by its name and has a set of attributes-the characteristics and information that the object represents- defined by a schema, which also determines the kinds of objects that can be stored in Active Directory.
What authentication protocol is used in Windows Server 2008?
NTLM AND kerberos
Microsoft adopted Kerberos as the preferred authentication protocol for Windows 2000 and subsequent Active Directory domains.[5] Kerberos is typically used when a server belongs to a Windows Server domain, or if a trust relationship with a Windows Server Domain is established in some other way (such as Linux to Windows AD authentication).[citation needed]
NTLM is still used in the following situations:
* The client is authenticating to a server using an IP address.
* The client is authenticating to a server that belongs to a different Active Directory forest that has a legacy NTLM trust instead of a transitive inter-forest trust
* The client is authenticating to a server that doesn't belong to a domain.
* No Active Directory domain exists (commonly referred to as "workgroup" or "peer-to-peer").
* Where a firewall would otherwise restrict the ports required by Kerberos (of which there are quite a few)
In Windows Vista and above, neither LM nor NTLM are used by default[citation needed]. NTLM is still supported for inbound authentication, but for outbound authentication a newer version of NTLM, called NTLMv2, is sent by default instead. Prior versions of Windows (back as far as Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 4) could be configured to behave this way, but it was not the default.
How do you install Windows Server 2008 in a virtual machine?
Installing Server 2008 in a virtual machine is really no different than installing in a physical box; you boot the install DVD in the virtual machine and follow the prompts the same way as booting from the DVD on a real, physical machine.
What is a group domain or domain group?
Domain Group Policy is an infrastructure inside of the Microsoft Windows operating systems (Windows Server 2000, 2003, and 2008, along with Vista) that allows the administrator to implement specific configurations for both computers and users. This infrastructure is what provides the centralized management and configuration for an Active Directory environment. Group Policy provides directory-based desktop-configuration management. With Group Policy, you can specify policy settings for registry-based policies, security, software installations, scripts, folder redirection, Remote Installation Services (RIS), and Internet Explorer maintenance.
Admins use Group Policy to define specific configurations for groups of users and computers by creating Group Policy settings. These settings are specified by the Group Policy Object Editor tool and contained in a Group Policy object (GPO), which is in turn linked to Active Directory containers, such as sites, domains, or OUs. Domain Group Policy is the configuration of groups and users within a domain. In this way, Group Policy settings are applied to the users and computers in those Active Directory containers. Admins can configure the users
