...place FSMO and Global Catalog roles in Active Directory During installation of Active Directory on a Windows Server 2000/2003/2008 all FSMO roles will automatically be installed on the first server. But Best Practice dictates to move some of theese Flexible Single Master of Operation (FSMO) roles to seperate servers. If you only have one domain controller (not recommended), there is nothing to do since all roles must be on this server, but if you have multiple servers you should move some of theese roles on to more servers. It is also important to be aware of what servers are Global Catalog servers, especially if you have more than one domain and even if only one domain, they will be prefered by applications like Exchange server. It is recommended to place the forest roles on one Domain Controller (DC) and the domain roles on another server. If not all Domain Controllers are Global Catalog servers, it is also important to place the infrastructure master on a server that is NOT a Global Catalog server. Recommended Best Practice setup of FSMO roles. Domain Controller #1 Place the two forest roles on this server. * Schema Master * Domain Master Domain Controller #2 Place the domain roles on this server. * RID Master * Infrastructure Master * PDC Emulator If more domains exist in the forest, place the domain roles on a server in theese domains like Domain Controller #2 Global Catalog configuration. In Windows 2008 Active Directory all Domain Controllers are by default...

...Research assignment Part 3 Explain Active Directory Federation Services: Active Directory federation Services is a server role in the Server 2008 operating system that you can use to create a highly extensible, Internet-scalable, and secure identity access solution that can operate across multiple platforms, including both Windows and non-Windows environments. The following sections provide information about AD FS in Windows Server 2008, including information about the additional functionality in AD FS in Windows Server 2008 compared to the version of AD FS in the Windows Server 2003 R2 operating system. Active Directory lightweight directory Services: directory service that provides flexible support for directory-enabled applications, without the dependencies that are required for Active Directory Domain Services. AD LDS provides much of the same functionality as AD DS, but it does not require the deployment of domains or domain controllers. You can run multiple instances of AD LDS concurrently on a single computer, with an independently managed schema for each AD LDS instance. Active Directory Certificate services: is a server role in Windows Server 2008 that provides Web single-sign-on (SSO) technologies to authenticate a user to multiple Web applications over the life of a single online session Active Directory Rights Management Services: is an information protection technology that works with AD RMS-enabled applications to help safeguard digital information from unauthorized...

...Cover Page Kashif Tahir Research Assignment Lesson 8 Professor Espinoza ISM4220 Active Tree three for a hypothetical organization with multiple departments The difference between Active Directory Tree and NDS: The concept of using directory services in networked computing environments is not new. For example, many companies have implemented white pages using first-generation directories to make basic information about employees (for example, location, e-mail address and telephone number) available across the organization. E-mail applications have provided directories in the form of address books to simplify the process of finding people and sending them e-mail. In addition, products such as Novell's NetWare have shown that it is possible to simplify basic management tasks by including a directory service as part of their offering. With the increase of distributed computing based on Internet technologies, however, the role that most companies need directory services to play is changing. Directory services must be capable of being used in all of the following roles: * User and network resource management—by providing a scalable, hierarchical information repository to simplify tasks such as delegating administrative privileges and locating network resources such as printers * Security authentication and authorization services—by providing flexible authentication and consistent authorization services that minimize barriers to doing business over the Internet...

...Tone Rogers IT 221 Research Assignment Part 2 & 3 11/16/11 The purpose for Global Names Zone in Windows Server 2008 DNS is to aid retirement WINS. Keep in mind that it is not a replacement for WINS. Also it is not intended to support the single-labeled name resolution of records that are dynamically registered in WINS, records which typically are not managed by IT administrators according Microsoft wizard. According to Microsoft TechNet with RODC organizations can easily deploy domain controllers in locations. Which security can be guaranteed. It differs by having better security, faster login time, and more efficient access to resource on the network. Background loading is a new feature on Windows Server 2008. When this service starts, it creates one or more threads of execution to load the zones that are stored in Active Directory. After the Global Names zone is deployed, when a Windows Vista-based DNS client attempts to resolve a single-label name, it appends the primary DNS suffix to the single-label name and submits the name query request to its DNS server. IPv6, which has been covered in previous editions of this column, is a new suite of Internet standard protocols. IPv6 is designed to address many of the issues of the current version—IPv4—such as address depletion, security, auto configuration, and the need for extensibility. One difference in IPv6 is that its addresses are 128 bits long, while IPv4 addresses are only 32 bits. IPv6 addresses...

...Craig Stevens 5/13/2012 Prof. Edris Server 2008 Research Assignment 3 Windows 2008 has a laundry list of new and improved services to make an IT Admins job just that much simpler. For Example, Active Directory Federation Services which is a software component that can be installed on windows server 2008. Federation Services provides users with single-sign-on access. It uses a claims-based access control authorization model to maintain application security and implement federated identity ("Microsoft Server"). Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services is also an improved service. It is a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol directory service designed for use with directory-enabled applications ("Server 2008"). It is also one of two identity providers that are supported by Active Directory Federation Services. Active Directory Certification Services provides customizable services for issuing and managing public key certificates used in software security systems that employ public key technologies ("ACDS Overview"). It contains certificate authorities which are broken down to Root and subordinate CAs. Then they issue certificates to users, computers, and services, and to manage certificate validity. With Active Directory Rights Management Service you can plan an organization's security strategy by protecting information through persistent usage policies, which remain with the information, no matter where it is moved. You can use ADRMS to help prevent sensitive information...

...Microsoft Research Assignment 2 Monday, Feb 2nd, 2015 1. The purpose of the Global Names Zone in Windows server 2008 is used to hold single label names. The Global Names zone is intended to provide single-label name resolution for a limited set of host names, typically corporate servers and web sites that are centrally managed. The Global Names zone is most commonly used to hold CNAME resource records to map a single-label name to a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN). Global Names Zone functionality is not intended to fully replace Wins. GNZ provides single-label name resolution whereas WINS provides NetBIOS resolution. 2. Because the DNS server that runs on an RODC cannot directly register client updates, it has to refer the client to a DNS server that hosts a primary or Active Directory-integrated copy of the zone file. This server is sometimes referred to as a "writable DNS server." When a client presents a Find Authoritative Query, which is the precursor to an update request, the DNS server on the RODC uses the domain controller Locator to find domain controllers in the closest site. The RODC then compares the list of domain controllers that is returned with the list of name server (NS) resource records that it has. The RODC returns to the client the NS resource record of a writable DNS server that the client can use to perform the update. The client can then perform its update. If no domain controller in the closest site matches an entry in the list...

... Assignment: Week 4 Research Preparing an Organization for Exchange Server The Exchange setup requires a Windows 64 Bit Edition to initiate; therefore using Windows 32 Bit Edition isn't supported with installation on the Management Tools from the Exchange 2007 Installation disk. The 32-bit version is for testing only. Many people like to test server software in a virtual environment before making the production plunge, take note that Virtual Server 2005 R2 does not support 64-bit guest’s virtual machines. Even VMware ESX 3.0 only had experimental support for 64-bit guest operating systems. ESX 3.0.1 now includes full support for 64-bit guests, but this is a recent release. Sure, desktop virtualization packages have supported 64-bit guest OSs for a while now, but the enterprise-variety virtualization offerings are just catching up to this. A transition is the process in which you perform an upgrade to Exchange 2007 that is you move data from any legacy Exchange servers in your Exchange organization to new Exchange 2007 Servers, after which you decommission the legacy Exchange servers. A transition should not be confused with a migration, because unlike a transition a migration is the process in which you move data from a non-Exchange messaging system (such as GroupWise, Lotus Notes or Send Mail) to an Exchange organization, or move data from a legacy Exchange organization in an existing Active Directory Forest to an Exchange organization in a new Active Directory Forest...

...Research Assignment 1 Windows Server 2008 comes in different versions to accommodate features useful to different types of users. It is similar to buying a car with different features. The more features or the better, the more money it will cost. Since Microsoft created multiple versions, they were able to maximize their profits by capturing both types of customers (Large business, and smaller ones). The significance of each of the Windows Server 2008 version depends on what it being used for. Some versions are designed for small businesses, medium businesses, or for Itanium-based systems. The IA-64 version has been optimized for high-workload scenarios like database servers. Most editions of Windows Server 2008 are available in x86-64 and IA-32 versions, but Microsoft has already claimed that Windows Server 2008 is the last 32-bit operating system.1 The new features or enhancements made to Windows Server 2008 are Core OS improvements, Active Directory improvements, Policy related improvements, Disk management and file storage improvements, Protocol and cryptography improvements, and improvements due to client-side (Windows Vista) enhancements.
