Backup and restore of Active Directory is possible for a network with a single domain controller,[40] but Microsoft recommends more than one domain controller to provide automatic failover protection of the directory.[41] Domain controllers are also ideally single-purpose for directory operations only, and should not run any other software or role.[42] Certain Microsoft pr... undo Tags: Reverted Mobile edit Mobile web edit

Site definitions are independent of the domain and OU structure and are common across the forest. Sites are used to control network traffic generated by replication and also to refer clients to the nearest domain controllers (DCs).

The forest, tree, and domain are the logical divisions in an Active Directory network. Within a deployment, objects are grouped into domains. The objects for a single domain are stored in a single database (which can be replicated). Domains are identified by their DNS name structure, the namespace. A domain is defined as a logical group of network objects (computers, users... undo Tags: Reverted Mobile edit Mobile web edit

The executable part, known as Directory System Agent, is a collection of Windows services and processes that run on Windows 2000 and later.[1] Objects in Active Directory databases can be accessed via LDAP, ADSI (a component object model interface), messaging API and Security Accounts Manager servi... undo Tags: Reverted Mobile edit Mobile web edit

The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), which oversees the RFC process, has accepted numerous RFCs initiated by widespread participants. For example, LDAP underpins Active Directory. Also, X.500 directories and the Organizational Unit preceded the Active Directory concept that makes use of those methods. The LDAP concept began to emerge e... undo Tags: Reverted Mobile edit Mobile web edit

It authenticates and authorizes all users and computers in a Windows domain type network, assigning and enforcing security policies for all computers, and installing or updating software. For example, when a user logs into a computer that is part of a Windows domain, Active Directory checks the submitted username and password and determines whether the user is a system administrator or normal user... undo Tags: Reverted Mobile edit Mobile web edit
