Guidelines for Placing the Infrastructure Master
The infrastructure master does not need to be a highly available or high-capacity domain controller, and it should not host the global catalog The infrastructure master is responsible for making fast updates of cross-domain references, such as membership changes in a group that contains user accounts from other domains. There is only one infrastructure master in a domain. Apply the following guidelines to determine the placement of the infrastructure master Do not require that the...

How to Teach This Module Qvq
This section contains information that will help you to teach this module. Important This module contains assessment items for each lesson, which are located on the Student Materials compact disc. You can use them as pre-assessments to help students identify areas of difficulty, or you can use them as post-assessments to validate learning. Consider using them to reinforce learning at the end of the day. You can also use them at the beginning of the day as a review for the content that you...

Replication does not finish or occur Sites not connected by site links No bridgehead server in the site Inefficient site topology and schedule Client computers receive a slow response No domain controller online in client site Not enough domain controllers Replication greatly increases network traffic Insufficient bandwidth Incorrect site topology The KCC cannot complete the topology When you encounter replication problems in Active Directory, your first step is to identify the symptoms and...
How to Change the Options for Software Installation 1
Your instructor will demonstrate how to Configure the software installation default options i Change the software deployment properties for a software package Procedure for configuring software installation defaults A GPO can contain several settings that affect how an application is installed, managed, and removed. You can define the default settings globally for the new packages in the GPO. You can change some of these settings later by editing the package properties in the Software...

What Is a Bridgehead Server
Bridgehead server required per partition The bridgehead server is a domain controller that you designate to send and receive replicated data at each site. The bridgehead server from the originating site collects all of the replication changes and then sends them to the receiving site's bridgehead server, which replicates the changes to all domain controllers in the site. You must designate a bridgehead server for each partition in the site. For example, a domain controller can be the bridgehead...
Performance Counters to Monitor
Use performance counters to evaluate overall domain controller health Core Active Directory functions and services When you perform basic monitoring, you also use performance counters to monitor overall domain controller health. Basic monitoring includes the following types of performance counters. Performance counters to monitor the quantity of replicated data Performance counters to monitor core Active Directory functions and services Performance counters to monitor key security volumes...

Lab A Implementing Active Directory
The lab in this module will enable students to install Active Directory and create a forest and domain structure. Students will prepare their domain controllers for installation by removing a previously installed child domain from Active Directory. Student will work in pairs. One student will install the forest root domain and the other student will install a child domain. Students will then raise the forest and domain functional levels in preparation for creating a forest trust. Students will...
What Is the Intersite Topology Generator
Intersite topology generator defines the replication between sites on a network Intersite topology generator defines the replication between sites on a network The intersite topology generator is an Active Directory process that defines the replication between sites on a network. A single domain controller in each site is automatically designated to be the intersite topology generator. Because this action is performed by the intersite topology generator, you are not required to take any action...

Replication of Linked Multivalued Attributes
Replication of linked multivalued attributes depends on the forest functional level Change triggers replication of the entire membership list Replication occurs by individual value instead of the whole attribute Linked multivalued attributes and forest functional levels The process of replication of linked multivalued attributes is different than the normal replication that occurs in Active Directory. The process by which linked multivalued attributes are replicated varies, depending on the...
