Let’s Talk And Tell

INTRODUCTION

In Windows NT, administrators were introduced to the concept of domains. Active Directory
Domain Services (AD DS) builds on that concept by creating a dynamic, easily accessible
structure through which directory and management information can be stored and accessed
centrally throughout an organization. By using AD DS, you create a structure for managing your
equipment and the people who use that equipment, which is a helpful feature for all but the
smallest of operations.
By using Active Directory as a whole, you have access to several management tools,
including Group Policy (GP), the ability to put groups inside groups multiple times, and an online
directory of users, computers, printers, and contacts that you can access easily through the
Windows user interface. Although you certainly can’t operate a Windows-based network without
Active Directory deployed.

In this information sheet, you are able to configure and install active directory.

What is Active Directory and Why Should I care?

Active Directory is the brain of a Window Server Network.

It is a database that keeps track of a huge amount of stuff and gives us a centralized way to
manage all our network machine, users, and resources.

Type of that active directory provides

1. Users and groups
2. Services (i.e. Email, etc.)
3. Resources (Printer, Shared Folders, etc.)

These items are objects in the active directory database.

As a matter of fact, every time you login in to a corporate network, you’re using an Active
Directory.
What is Domain Controller?
1. A domain controller is a machine that runs Active Directory Services.
2. Think of it as a boss of your network.
3. You may have multiple domain controller that all have copies of the same active directory
database.

Changes may made into one database to domain controllers talk back in fort. They share changes
that what they receive in a process called replication.

What is Domain?
It is a logical group of computers that share a central directory database. The machine is all
named with part of domain name like itsmeismael.com (also called a “suffix”) and registered in the
active directory database so they can be managed.

Forest is comprised of all the domains in your enterprise. Your forest may only one domain.

Users are also part of “namespace”.

Example: Your email address is a part of domain namespace.

pj.net

Note: Email-like logins are also called “User Principle Names” when used to log into a Server
2008 R2 network.

What is Server Role?

Server role is a major job that a server can perform.
It’s recommended that a server not have too many roles
A domain controller usually has only two roles:
a. Active directory domain services
b. Domain name services

If you are trying to create some other roles, you can use another domain controller to prevent over
population of roles in a single domain controller that may cause less productivity.

Domain Name Service

• It is a service provided by a server that allows you to find other computers in your network
• Allows you to type a friendly name of a machine instead of its IP address, allowing your client
to get the IP address from the DNS server and go find the resources.

Note: Without DNS, Active Directory will not work. In Windows Sever 2008 R2, it’s recommended
that you integrate DNS with active directory.

INSTALLATION
1. Open Server Manager and click on roles, this will bring up the Roles Summary on the right
side where you can click on the Add Roles link.

Figure 1: Selecting role in Server Manager

2. Select server role. Check Active Directory Domain Services then click install (see Figure
1.1) from the list, you will be told that you need to add some features, click on the Add
Required Features (see Figure 2.2) button and click next to move on.
 Figure 2.1: Selecting server role

Figure 2.2: Add features requirements

3. A brief introduction to Active Directory will be displayed as well as a few links to additional
resources, you can just click next to skip past here and click install to start installing the
binaries for Active Directory.

Figure 3: Confirm installation

4. When the installation is finished you will be shown a message of successful configuration, just
click Close.
