What Will Be The Impact On The Network If Domain Controller With PDC Emulator Crashes?

This document contains 18 questions and answers related to system administration topics like Active Directory, Azure, and Google Drive administration. Some key points addressed include that a domain controller provides user authentication as its main function. If the PDC emulator crashes, user authentication and network time synchronization will fail. Active Directory uses security and distribution groups that have domain local, global, or universal scopes. The NTDSUTIL command can be used to perform authoritative restore of Active Directory from the command line.

Questions:

Q1: What is the main function of a domain controller.

Provides ,user, authentication.

Q2: What will be the impact on the network if Domain Controller with PDC Emulator
crashes?
If PDC emulator crashes, there will be immediate impact on the environment. User
authentication will fail as password changes won’t get effected, and there will be frequent
account lock out issues. Network time synchronization will be impacted. It will also impact
DFS consistency and Group policy replication as well.
Q3: Explain Group Types and Group Scopes?
Group types are categorized based on its nature. There are two group types: Security
Groups and Distribution Groups. Security groups are used to apply permissions to
resources whereas distribution groups are used to create Exchange server email
communication groups. Group scopes are categorized based on the usage. There are three
group types: Domain Local Group, Global Group and Universal Group.

Q4: Explain me, how to restore Active Directory using command line?
We can use NTDSUTIL command line to perform Authoritative restore of Active Directory.
First, start a domain controller in ‘Directory Service Restore Mode. Then restore the System
State data of Domain controller using NTBACKUP tool. This is non-authoritative restore.
Once non-authoritative restore is completed, we have to perform authoritative restore
immediately before restarting the Domain Controller.
Open command prompt and type NTDSUTIL and enter, then type authoritative restore and
press enter, then type restore database and press enter, click OK and then click Yes. This
will restore all the data in authoritative restore mode. If you want to restore only a specific
object or sub-tree, you can type below command instead of ‘restore database’.
restore subtree ou=OU_Name,dc=Domain_Name,dc=xyz
Q5: What are the main steps in order to renew a certificate?
Generate CSR, create the certificate.
Q6: Do we use clustering in Active Directory? Why?
No one installs Active Directory in a cluster. There is no need of clustering a domain
controller. Because Active Directory provides total redundancy with two or more servers.
Q7: What is Active Directory Recycle Bin?
Active Directory Recycle bin is a feature of Windows Server 2008 AD. It helps to restore
accidentally deleted Active Directory objects without using a backed up AD database,
rebooting domain controller or restarting any services.
Q8: How can you check if specific ports are opened?
Telnet and test-netconnection.
Q9: You have 2 DC (A and B). How can you ensure that user in location A always

Q11: How can you connect two virtual networks so that the resources can
communicate between vnet 1 and vnet 2?
Create vnet peering from both vnet sides.
Q12: How can you group Azure resources so that you can monitor and manage them
easily?
Create and resource group.
Q13: What are virtual machine scale sets in Azure?
Are azure compute resources that you can use to deploy and manage a set o identical VMs.
With all VMs configured the same scale sets are designed to support true autoscale and no
preprovisioning of VMs is required.
Q14: What is an availability set?
Is a logical grouping of VMs that allow azure to understand how your application is built to
provide redundancy and availability.
Q15: How can you allow or deny access to an azure vm ?
Use NSG (network security group)
Q16: Can you add an existing VM to an availability set?
No.
Q17: What is the difference between and Stopped and Deallocated vm?
