    What is AD DS?

    Active Directory Domain Services (AD


    DS) is a Microsoft service used to
    manage and organize network
    resources like user accounts,
    computers, and printers in a centralized
    directory. It handles user authentication,
    access control, and maintains a
    structured order of network objects. AD
    DS ensures that users and computers
    What are AD DS
    Domain?
    AD DS requires one or more domain controllers
    • All domain controllers hold a copy of the domain
    database which is continually synchronized
    • The domain is the context within which user, group,
    and computer accounts are created
    • The domain is a replication boundary
    • An administrative center for configuring and managing
    objects
    • Any domain controller can authenticate any logon in
    the domain
    Function and Benefits of AD DS

    Centralized Directory Management


    Function: Stores and organizes information about network resources
    like users, computers, and printers.
    Benefit: Simplifies management by allowing administrators to access
    and control everything from one place.
    Authentication
    Function: Verifies who users and computers are when they log in.
    Benefit: Ensures that only authorized people and devices can access
    the network.
    Authorization
    Function: Controls what resources users and computers can access and
    what they can do with them.
    Benefit: Protects sensitive information by enforcing access rules and
    permissions.
    Function and Benefits of AD DS

    Group Policy Management


    Function: Applies settings and rules across all users and computers
    in the domain.
    Benefit: Makes it easy to enforce security policies and standardize
    settings across the organization.
    Replication
    Function: Updates and synchronizes directory information across
    multiple servers.
    Benefit: Ensures consistent and up-to-date information throughout
    the network.
    Domain and Forest Structure
    Function: Organizes network resources into a hierarchical structure.
    Benefit: Allows for scalable and manageable growth of the network.
    Function and Benefits of AD DS

    DNS Integration
    Function: Helps find and connect to network resources
    using domain names.
    Benefit: Simplifies resource location and access by
    integrating with the Domain Name System (DNS).
    Security and Compliance
    Function: Provides tools to enforce security policies and
    ensure regulatory compliance.
    Benefit: Enhances security and helps meet
    organizational and legal requirements.
    What are Organizational
    Units (OUs)?
    An organizational unit (OU) is a container object within a domain
    that you can use to consolidate users, groups, computer and
    other objects.

    Two Reasons to
    create a Ous;
    1. To configure objects contained within the OU.
    You can assign GPOs to the OU and the settings
    apply to all objects within the OU.
    2. To delegate administrative control of objects
    within the OU. You can as – sign management
    permissions on an OU, thereby delegating
    control of that OU to user or group within AD DS
    Every AD DS domain contains standard
    set of containers and OU that are created
    when you install AD DS, including the
    following:
    Domain container – Serves as the root container to
    the hierarchy.
    Built-in container – Stores a number of default
    groups.
    User containers – The default location for new user
    accounts and groups that you create in the domain. The
    users container also holds the administrator and guest
    accounts for the domain and some default groups.
    Computers container- The default location for new
    computer accounts that you create in the domain.
    Domain Controllers OU – The default location for the
    computer accounts for domain controller computer
