Purpose

  • Active Directory Domain Services provide secure, structured, hierarchical data storage for objects in a network such as users, computers, printers, and services. Active Directory Domain Services provide support for locating and working with these objects.
  • ›By using the Active Directory® Domain Services (AD DS) server role, you can create a scalable, secure, and manageable infrastructure for user and resource management, and you can provide support for directory-enabled applications, such as Microsoft® Exchange Server.

What is the AD DS server role?
AD DS provides a distributed database that stores and manages information about network resources
and application-specific data from directory-enabled applications. Administrators can use AD DS to
organize elements of a network, such as users, computers, and other devices, into a hierarchical
containment structure. The hierarchical containment structure includes the Active Directory forest,
domains in the forest, and organizational units (OUs) in each domain. A server that is running AD DS is
called a domain controller.
Features in AD DS
     ›Security is integrated with AD DS through logon authentication and access control to resources in the directory. With a single network logon, administrators can manage directory data and organization throughout their network. Authorized network users can also use a single network logon to access resources anywhere in the network. Policy-based administration eases the management of even the most complex network.

What’s The Difference Between 802.11n And 802.11ac?

-

This article explains the difference between the currently popular IEEE wireless local-area network (WLAN) standard 802.11n and the forthcoming 802.11ac, which defines a faster version The 802.11 standard was first available in the late 1990s. It was not an immediate success. When the 11b version arrived in 1999, it facilitated the first widespread implementation of WLAN technology. The 802.11b standard is often considered the first generation, 802.11a is the second generation, 802.11g is the third generation, and 802.11n is the fourth generation. When 802.11ac becomes available this year, it will represent the fifth generation. Today, the most widely implemented form is 802.11n, which is used in access points, routers, laptops, smart phones, tablets, and other mobile devices. Devices using 11n are all backward compatible with older 802.11a/g equipment. The 802.11 standard defines both a physical layer (PHY) and media access control (MAC) layer in the networking scheme.

Difference between OU and group

-
Organization unit : OU can be used to segregate/filter department bases on the region or type of users/groups/computers.  OU - Structures are included to make Administrator job easy. For eg- You have 2 office 1. Main office 2. Branch office , You want to separte users and computer accounts for respective location so that you can go ahead and manage them easily , then you need to create OU structure in AD and move the user accounts or computer acccounts respectively according to your need. Groups : Groups can be used to group to be able to apply permission instead of doing it one by one. Its easy to manage group then individual. Consider, you need to add 1000 users in a folder but instead of adding one by one, you can add a security group & later on you can modify group to add or remove users instead of going to folder & adding or removing it manually.
