You need them because you cannot properly manage an Active Directory network without them.
Here they are, it would do you well to familiarize yourself with all of them.

How do you open ntds.dit?
To open the ntds.dit file, which is the Active Directory database file, you typically need to use specialized tools because it is not a standard database format. One commonly used tool is Microsoft's "ntdsutil," which allows for management and maintenance of Active Directory databases. Alternatively, you can use third-party tools like "ESENTutl" or database viewers designed for .dit files. Note that accessing this file requires administrative privileges and should be done with caution to avoid compromising the security of the Active Directory.

What are several of the largest advantages of using active directory integrated zones as a type for a larger organization?
The main zone types used in Windows Server 2003 DNS environments are primary zones and Active Directory-integrated zones. Both primary zones and secondary zones are standard DNS zones that use zone files. The main difference between primary zones and secondary zones is that primary zones can be updated. Secondary zones contain read-only copies of zone data.An Active Directory-integrated zone can be defined as an improved version of a primary DNS zone because it can use multi-master replication and the security features of Active Directory. The zone data of Active Directory-integrated zones are stored in Active Directory.Active Directory-integrated zones are authoritative primary zones.A few advantages that Active Directory-integrated zone implementations have over standard primary zone implementations are:Active Directory replication is faster, which means that the time needed to transfer zone data between zones is far less.The Active Directory replication topology is used for Active Directory replication, and for Active Directory-integrated zone replication. There is no longer a need for DNS replication when DNS and Active Directory are integrated.Active Directory-integrated zones can enjoy the security features of Active Directory.The need to manage your Active Directory domains and DNS namespaces as separate entities is eliminated. This in turn reduces administrative overhead.When DNS and Active Directory are integrated; the Active Directory-integrated zones are replicated, and stored on any new domain controllers automatically. Synchronization takes place automatically when new domain controllers are deployed
Why would one need a tutorial active directory?
The active directory is a software program that runs on the Windows operation system. It has a complex activation procedure and having a tutorial will ensure the process goes smoothly.
What do you need to use to install active directory on server core computers?

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 a user defined in active directory access a shared drive if that user is not part of the domain?
No a user defined in active directory cannot access a shared drive if they are not part of the domain. You will need to set them up as a user on your computer.
Which server hosts active directory?
windows 2000 and above like 2k3 all editions, 2k8 with requisite Hardware. we need to make it Domain controller for active directory to work. We install AD to make it DC.
Where do you enable auditing of active directory?
To enable auditing of Active Directory, you need to access the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC). Navigate to the specific Group Policy Object (GPO) you want to configure or create a new one, then go to Computer Configuration > Policies > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Local Policies > Audit Policy. Here, you can enable auditing options such as "Audit Directory Service Access" and "Audit Directory Service Changes" to track relevant activities in Active Directory. Finally, ensure that the GPO is linked to the appropriate organizational unit (OU) where your Active Directory objects reside.

How can active directory work without DHCP?
Active directory and DHCP are not the same services; they are intended to do different things. DHCP manages IP addressing and AD manages accounts, groups, users, etc. They don't need to work together.
