Windows Server 2008 R2 for Itanium-Based Systems

Question:-What is the Difference between Desktop and Server?

Regular computers usually run some flavor of Windows, like XP or Vista. Macs of
course run Mac software (OS X), and there are also open source desktop alternatives
such as Linux.
Servers generally run more powerful operating systems that can handle networking,
email, internet/intranet hosting, file sharing, databases, and more. Windows Server and
Windows Small Business Server are quite popular in small and mid-size businesses.
Mac offers OS X Server if you want to run your entire network on Macs.
The second major difference between computers and servers: better hardware. If a
desktop goes down, it impacts a single person. If a server goes down, it can easily
impact dozens, even hundreds of people at once. In server you can implement RAID at
hardware and Software Raid fault tolerance and riddance.
Question: What is the difference between a Workgroup and domain controller?
A workgroup is a distributed directory maintained on each computer with the workgroup
with same workgroup name. A domain is a centralized directory of resources
maintained on domain controllers and presented to the user through Active directory
services so the user can get login from a single server.
Question: What is a Stand-alone computer or server?
A computer that belongs to workgroup, not a domain is called a standalone server?

Question:- What is a Member server?

Member server is which belong to domain but do not contain a copy of the Active
Directory data.
And it is not configured as a domain controller. A member server doesnt store Active
directory information and cant authenticate users. Member server can provide share
resources such as share folder share Driver or Printers.
Question: -What is Active Directory?
Active Directory is a technology created by Microsoft that provides a variety of network
services, and database that holds information about component locations, users,
groups, passwords, security, Printers, computers, Group policy and other COM
information. Some of this information is currently stored in the Registry, but will
eventually (with Windows 2008) be moved to the Active Directory.
Question:-What roles does a Main Domain Controller will have by default?
By Default there are Five operation master roles :Schema maser
Domain Naming Master
PDC Emulator

Question:- What are the roles an Additional Domain controller Will have by
Default?
By default you cannot get any role. But if you want to assign any role you can transfer
from master.

Question:- What are the roles a Main Child Domain Controller will have by
default?
By default the FSMO roles the Child DC is having are
PDC Emulator
Relative Identifier (RID)
Infrastructure Master

Question:-Explain the FSMO roles and their activities?

Answer: The domain Operations Master Roles also known as FSMO roles, are the core
foundations of the Active Directory infrastructure.
In each Active Directory domain we have five FSMO roles that can be assigned to one
server or multiple servers.
These are the five FSMO Roles:

Schema Master
Controls updates and changes to our Active Directory schema.
The domain naming master domain controller controls the addition or removal of
domains in the forest. This DC is the only one that can add or remove a domain from
the directory. It can also add or remove cross references to domains in external
directories. There can be only one domain naming master in the whole forest.
To find out which server hold this role issue the following command:
dsquery server hasfsmo schema
Domain Naming Master
Controls new addition and removal of domains in the AD forest.
The domain naming master domain controller controls the addition or removal of
domains in the forest. This DC is the only one that can add or remove a domain from
the directory. It can also add or remove cross references to domains in external
directories. There can be only one domain naming master in the whole forest.

To find out which server hold this role issue the following command:
dsquery server hasfsmo name
Relative ID Master
Assigns security ID to each new object created in Active Directory like user, server,
group, etc

The RID master is responsible for processing RID pool requests from all domain
controllers in a particular domain. When a DC creates a security principal object such
as a user or group, it attaches a unique Security ID (SID) to the object. This SID
consists of a domain SID (the same for all SIDs created in a domain), and a relative ID
(RID) that is unique for each security principal SID created in a domain. Each DC in a
domain is allocated a pool of RIDs that it is allowed to assign to the security principals it
creates. When a DCs allocated RID pool falls below a threshold, that DC issues a
request for additional RIDs to the domains RID master. The domain RID master
responds to the request by retrieving RIDs from the domains unallocated RID pool and
assigns them to the pool of the requesting DC. At any one time, there can be only one
domain controller acting as the RID master in the domain.
To find out which server hold this role issue the following command:
dsquery server hasfsmo rid
PDC Emulator
Acts as the default time server for the domain and performs time sync with other time
servers if needed.
The PDC emulator is necessary to synchronize time in an enterprise. Windows
2000/2003 includes the W32Time (Windows Time) time service that is required by the
Kerberos authentication protocol. All Windows 2000/2003-based computers within an
enterprise use a common time. The purpose of the time service is to ensure that the
Windows Time service uses a hierarchical relationship that controls authority and does
not permit loops to ensure appropriate common time usage.
The PDC emulator of a domain is authoritative for the domain. The PDC emulator at the
root of the forest becomes authoritative for the enterprise, and should be configured to
gather the time from an external source. All PDC FSMO role holders follow the

hierarchy of domains in the selection of their in-bound time partner.

In a Windows 2000/2003 domain, the PDC emulator role holder retains the following
functions:
Password changes performed by other DCs in the domain are replicated
preferentially to the PDC emulator.
Authentication failures that occur at a given DC in a domain because of an incorrect
password are forwarded to the PDC emulator before a bad password failure
message is reported to the user.
Account lockout is processed on the PDC emulator.
Editing or creation of Group Policy Objects (GPO) is always done from the GPO
copy found in the PDC Emulators SYSVOL share, unless configured not to do so
by the administrator.
The PDC emulator performs all of the functionality that a Microsoft Windows NT 4.0
Server-based PDC or earlier PDC performs for Windows NT 4.0-based or earlier
clients.
This part of the PDC emulator role becomes unnecessary when all workstations,
member servers, and domain controllers that are running Windows NT 4.0 or earlier are
all upgraded to Windows 2000/2003. The PDC emulator still performs the other
functions as described in a Windows 2000/2003 environment.
At any one time, there can be only one domain controller acting as the PDC emulator
master in each domain in the forest.
To find out which server hold this role issue the following command:
dsquery server hasfsmo pdc

Makes sure all objects references are up to data on all domain controllers and if not
replicates the data.
When an object in one domain is referenced by another object in another domain, it
represents the reference by the GUID, the SID (for references to security principals),
and the DN of the object being referenced. The infrastructure FSMO role holder is the
DC responsible for updating an objects SID and distinguished name in a cross-domain
object reference. At any one time, there can be only one domain controller acting as the
infrastructure master in each domain.
Note: The Infrastructure Master (IM) role should be held by a domain controller that is
not a Global Catalog server (GC). If the Infrastructure Master runs on a Global Catalog
server it will stop updating object information because it does not contain any
references to objects that it does not hold. This is because a Global Catalog server
holds a partial replica of every object in the forest. As a result, cross-domain object
references in that domain will not be updated and a warning to that effect will be logged
on that DCs event log. If all the domain controllers in a domain also host the global
catalog, all the domain controllers have the current data, and it is not important which
domain controller holds the infrastructure master role.
To find out which server hold this role issue the following command:
dsquery server hasfsmo infr

Question:-What are the roles must be on the same server?

Question:-What are the roles should not on the same Domain Controller?
Infrastructure Master and Global Catalogue
Note: If you have only one domain then you wont get any problem even if you have both
of them in the same server. If you have two of more domains in a forest then they
shouldnt be in the same server.
Question:-What is a Global Catalogue?
The global catalog is the set of all objects in an Active Directory Domain Services
(AD DS) forest. A global catalog server is a domain controller that stores a full copy of
all objects in the directory for its host domain and a partial, read-only copy of all objects
for all other domains in the forest. Global catalog servers respond to global catalog
queries.

Question:-How to check the above roles to which server they have assigned?
Install support tools from Widows server CD
At command prompt type netdom quary fsmo

Question:-What are the file system we have in windows?
FAT/FAT16/FAT32/NTFS 4.0 /NTFS 5.0
Question:- How to convert from FAT to NTFS?
Convert drive /fs:ntfs

Question:-What is a forest?
Collection of one or more domain trees that do not form a contiguous namespace.
Forests allow organizations to group divisions that operate independently but still need
to communicate with one another.
All trees in a forest share common schema, configuration partitions and Global Catalog.
All trees in a give forest trust each other with two way transitive trust relations
Question:- What is Domain?
A group of computers that are part of a network and shares a common directory and
security policies. In Windows server 2008 a domain is a security boundary and
permissions that are granted in one domain are not carried over to other domains.
Question:- What is a fully Qualified Domain name?
