Active Directory Domain Services Server r2 2012 By Mahboob ur rahman

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.
Overview of the Active Directory Module
›User management
›Computer management
›Group management
›OU management
›Password policy management
›Searching and modifying objects
›Forest and domain management
›Domain controller and operations masters management
›Managed service account management
›Site replication management

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.

1. How Many Layers are There in an OSI Reference Model? Name them. Ans. There are 7 Layers in an OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) Reference Model. They are: (1)   Physical Layer (2)   Data Link Layer (3)   Network Layer (4)   Transport Layer (5)   Session Layer (6)   Presentation Layer (7)   Application Layer 2. How Many Types of Network ? Area Base Network-  LAN, MAN, WAN, CAN, SAN, PAN Architecture Base Network-  Client-Server Network, Peer-to-Peer Network Topology Base Network-  Star, Ring, Bus, Mesh, Tree, Hybrid 3. What is the Difference Between Full Duplex and Half Duplex Devices? Answer: A Full Duplex Device is Preferable, because a Full Duplex Device can Send and Receive Data Packets Simultaneously.  However, with a Half Duplex Device, the Device Must Finish Receiving a Message Before it Can then Send a Message. This can Lead to  Slower Trans...
