Introductory Message

For the facilitator:

Welcome to the (Computer System Servicing(CSS) Grade-10) Self Learning Module

on (Install and configure Active Directory Domain Services AD DS) !

This Self Learning Module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by
educators from Schools Division Office of Pasig City headed by its Officer-In-Charge
Schools Division Superintendent, Ma. Evalou Concepcion A. Agustin in partnership
with the Local Government of Pasig through its mayor, Honorable Victor Ma. Regis
N. Sotto. The writers utilized the standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum using the
Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELC) while overcoming their personal,
social, and economic constraints in schooling.

This learning material hopes to engage the learners into guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Further, this also aims to help
learners acquire the needed 21st century skills especially the 5 Cs namely:
Communication, Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking and Character while
taking into consideration their needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the body of
the module:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies
that will help you in guiding the learners.

As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this module.
You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to
manage their own learning. Moreover, you are expected to encourage and assist the
learners as they do the tasks included in the module.

 LESSON

WHAT IS DIRECTORY AND ACTIVE DIRECTORY

Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) are the core functions in Active Directory
that manage users and computers and allow sysadmins to organize the data into
logical hierarchies. Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS), provides the
methods for storing directory data and making this data available to network users
and administrators. AD DS stores information about user accounts, such as
names, passwords, phone numbers, and so on, and enables other authorized users
on the same network to access this information. Active Directory uses a structured
data store as the basis for a logical, hierarchical organization of directory
information. This data store, also known as the directory, contains information
about Active Directory objects. These objects typically include shared resources
such as servers, volumes, printers, and the network user and computer
accounts. With a single network logon, administrators can manage directory data
and organization throughout their network, and authorized network users can
access resources anywhere on the network. Active Directory provides the structure
to centralize the network and store information about network resources across the
entire domain. It uses Domain Controllers to keep this centralized storage available
to network users. Active Directory stores information about objects on the network
and makes this information easy for administrators and users to find and use. It’s
a kind of database use to store the information of User, Groups and Computers
and centralize Database of Object and management of resources.

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF ACTIVE DIRECTORY

 A server running Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) is called Domain
Controller. It authentication and authorizes all users and computers in
Windows type network.
 A single sign-on environment
 Use in a large network environment
 Centralized group policy

Active Directory Domain Services Terms to Know

In order to understand AD DS, there are some key terms to define.

 Schema: The set of user configured rules that govern objects and attributes in
AD DS.
 Global Catalog: The container of all objects in AD DS. If you need to find the
name of a user, that name is stored in the Global Catalog.
 Query and Index Mechanism: This system allows users to find each other in
AD. A good example would be when you start typing a name in your mail
client, and the mail client shows you possible matches.
  Replication Service: The replication service makes sure that every DC on the
network has the same Global Catalog and Schema
 Sites: Sites are representations of the network topology, so AD DS knows
what objects go together to optimize replication and indexing.
 Lightweight Directory Access Protocol: LDAP is a protocol that allows AD to
communicate with other LDAP enabled directory services across platforms.

Benefits of Active Directory Domain Services

There are several benefits to using AD DS for your basic network user and
computer management.
 You can customize how your data is organized to meet your companies needs
 You can manage AD DS from any computer on the network, if necessary
 AD DS provides built in replication and redundancy: if one Domain Controller
(DC) fails, another DC picks up the load
 All access to network resources goes through AD DS, which keeps network
access rights management centralized

What Services are Provided in Active Directory Domain Services?

Here are the services that AD DS provides as the core functionality required by a
centralized user management system.

 Domain Services: Stores data and manages communications between the

users and the DC. This is the primary functionality of AD DS.
 Certificate Services: Allows your DC to serve digital certificates, signatures,
and public key cryptography.
 Lightweight Directory Services: Supports LDAP for cross platform domain
services, like any Linux computers in your network.
 Directory Federation Services: Provides SSO authentication for multiple
applications in the same session, so users don’t have to keep providing the
same credentials.
 Rights Management: Controls information rights and data access policies.
For example, Rights Management determines if you can access a folder or
send an email.

 WR AP UP

Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) is the cornerstone of every Windows
domain network. It stores information about members of the domain, including
devices and users, verifies their credentials and defines their access rights. The
server running this service is called a domain controller. Active Directory Domain
Services (AD DS) is a server role in Active Directory that allows admins to manage
and store information about resources from a network, as well as application data,
in a distributed database. AD DS can also help admins manage a network's
elements (computers and end users) and reorder them into a custom hierarchy.

install in server roles. The following steps can be followed in order to install AD DS
