Identification Questions:

Define Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS).

Answer: Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) is a directory service provided by Microsoft Windows
Server operating systems. It allows administrators to manage and control access to network resources,
including users, computers, and applications, in a centralized manner.
What is the purpose of replication in Active Directory?

Answer: Replication in Active Directory refers to the process of synchronizing directory information
(objects, attributes, and schema) between multiple domain controllers. It ensures that changes made to
the directory on one domain controller are propagated to others, maintaining consistency and reliability
across the network.

Explain the concept of a Global Catalog server in Active Directory.

Answer: A Global Catalog (GC) server in Active Directory is a domain controller that stores a partial
replica of all objects in the forest. It provides a searchable index of these objects, allowing users to locate
directory information quickly and efficiently, especially in multi-domain environments.

What are some best practices for securing Active Directory?

Answer: Best practices for securing Active Directory include implementing strong password policies,
enabling auditing and monitoring, restricting administrative privileges, regularly applying security
patches and updates, and implementing firewall and intrusion detection systems.

How does Active Directory contribute to network management efficiency?

Answer: Active Directory enhances network management efficiency by providing a centralized directory
service for managing network resources, such as users, groups, computers, printers, and applications. It
simplifies administrative tasks, improves security, and enhances scalability and reliability of network
operations.
