26. What do you understand by Group Policy?

Group Policy refers to a feature of Microsoft Windows NT which also belongs to the
family of OS. This helps in controlling the work setting of computer accounts and
user accounts. Further, it also provides the central configuration management of
the operating systems, user settings, and applications in an Active Directory
setting.

27. Explain Group Policy Objects (GPO) and name its types.
GPO refers to the setting that manages the client records at the workplace, and
also at computer records. This helps in explaining the programming establishment,
security alternatives, upkeep choices and library-dependent arrangements, folder
redirection choices, and content choices. Further, there are two types of GPO:

Firstly, Local GPO. These are kept on close devices.

Secondly, Non-local GPO. These can be accessed from the Active Directory and are
kept on a domain controller.
28. Is it possible to associate a third-party directory service to an Active
Directory?
Yes, using the various versions of Microsoft. dirXML or LDAP it is possible to
associate third-party directory services to Active Directory.

29. Name the commands for checking TCP/IP configurations.

There are two commands for checking the TCP/IP configurations:

1. Ipconfig

This is for checking the IP setup of the computer. Moreover, you can also use it
for reestablishing the IP address of the users if it is defined by a DHCP server.

2. Ping

This is for checking the link between the computer in use and the other computers.

31. Explain the basic functionality of the domain controller?

The domain controller is responsible for verifying the customer’s too many
networks. Moreover, it also brings a set of objects that are involved in the Active
Directory.

32. Explaining the role of local DNS servers.

A local DNS server provides the local mapping of complete skillful domains to IP
addresses. They provide record data to remote DNS servers for resolving requests
concerning the domains on the network.

34. What do you understand by RAID in Windows Server?

RAID stands for Redundant Array of Independent Disks which is used for storing the
same data at a different place. This strategy helps in creating fault tolerance and
increase storage capacity. However, on different drives, it provides access to
combine one or more volumes for accessing it by a single drive letter

35. Define the term Global Catalog.

The Global Catalog refers to a database that consists of all the data relating to
objects in Active Directory environment domains.

36. Explain the following:

1. Domain local groups

These are for allocating access approvals to international groups of domains for
local resources of the domain.

2. Global groups

These provide access to other trusted domains’ resources.

3. Universal groups

This helps in providing access to all trusted domain resources.

39. Define Configuration Partition.

This is for storing all the data of Active Directory. The data here consists of
site-link, Site, subnet, etc. Further, the partition duplicates all domain
controllers that are available in the Forest.

40. Explain the difference between application and scheme partition.

Application partition is for storing the information of applications in Active
Directory. For example, ForestDNSZones and DomainDNSZones.
Schema Partition is for storing all the information of the objects and their
qualities. Further, this duplicates to other domain controllers in the Forest.

41. Define Domain Partitions.

This is for storing the domain information like a computer, user, printer, group,
etc. Further, it duplicates to all domain controllers in the domain.

42. Explaining the DHCP server configuring process for assigning the same IP
address to define devices whenever there is a change or removing of the address?
For configuring the DHCP server, you can build a reservation for the device.
However, for creating a reservation, you must know the MAC hardware address of the
device. Further, for discovering the MAC address for a network device you can use
the IP config command-line utilities.

43. What do you understand by the SYSVOL folder?

This refers to a set of files and folders placed on the local hard disk of each
domain controller in a domain. They are replicated by the File Replication Service
with having files containing group or user policy details.

44. What is a Windows DNS server?

The Windows DNS server means an area name framework used as a kind of perspective
table for coordinating the space names to various IP addresses.

45. Explain the various zones in the Windows DNS server.

Firstly, Primary Zone. In this, the record is provided as a text file with the
typical extension “.DNS”
Secondly, Secondary Zone. This is a support for the important server that goes
about load adjusting and provides for non-critical failure.
Lastly, Stub Zone. This consists of the name server and SOA records that help in
reducing the DNS seek orders.

46. Differentiate Windows and Windows Server.

Windows Server OS was released for server systems like Workstation, Rack, Tower,
etc. This is capable of multiple users who can log in and work continuously.
Further, this has the support of CPU(64), cores(320), and RAM(24TB).
Windows OS was released for user systems like desktop, Laptop, Tablet, Mobile, X-
box, etc. In this, multiple user accounts can be created, but, only one user can
log in at a time. Further, this has the support of limited CPU(2), core(256), and
RAM(2TB).

49. Define WINS server?

WINS stands for Windows Internet Name Service servers that are used for mapping the
IP addresses to NetBIOS names. This allows employers to access resources by name of
the computer rather than the IP address. Further, for keeping a check on the IP

diagonally the whole Active Directory Forest View of GPOs in one list. This allows
to perform GPOs backup and restore, Immigration of GPOs over many forest and
domains.

52. Explaining the process to backup Group policy?

For backing up one single GPO, then click the GPO, and select Back Up.
Further, for backup of all GPOs in the domain, click Group Policy Objects and then,
click Back Up All.

53. Define group nesting.

This refers to the process of adding one group as an element of another group. It
also helps in easy management and decreasing traffic replication.
