    Active Directory is a centralized directory and management system that allows administrators to manage users, computers, services and other resources. It provides three primary object types - users and groups, resources like printers, and services. When a user logs into an Active Directory network, they are authenticating with the Active Directory system. A domain controller runs Active Directory services and multiple domains make up a forest, with each domain sharing a common directory database. Server roles define the major functions a server can perform, such as being an Active Directory domain controller or DNS server.

    INTRODUCTION

    Michael U. Mamitag
    In Windows NT, administrators were introduced to the concept of
    domains. Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) builds on that
    concept by creating a dynamic, easily accessible structure through
    which directory and management information can be stored and
    accessed centrally throughout an organization.

    By using AD DS, you create a structure for managing your


    equipment and the people who use that equipment, which is a
    helpful feature for all but the smallest of operations.

    Michael U. Mamitag
    What is Active Directory and
    Why Should I care?

    Active Directory is the brain of a Window Server


    Network.
    It is a database that keeps track of a huge amount of
    stuff and gives us a centralized way to manage all
    our network machine, users, and resources.

    Michael U. Mamitag
    Type of that active directory provides

    Resources (Printer, Shared Folders,


    etc.)

    Services (i.e. Email, etc.) Users and groups

    These items are objects in the active directory database.

    Michael U. Mamitag
    As a matter of fact, every time
    you login in to a corporate
    network, you’re using an Active
    Directory.

    Michael U. Mamitag
    Domain Controller

    A domain controller is a
    machine that runs Active
    Directory Services.

    Michael U. Mamitag
    Domain

    It is a logical group of
    computers that share a
    central directory database.
    The machine is all named
    with part of domain name
    like itsmeismael.com (also
    called a “suffix”) and
    registered in the active
    directory database so they
    can be managed.

    Michael U. Mamitag
    Forest

    Forest is comprised of all


    the domains in your
    enterprise. Your forest may
    only one domain.

    Michael U. Mamitag
    Server Role

    Server role is a major job that a server can perform.


    It’s recommended that a server not have too many roles
    Common role

    active directory domain


    domain name services
    services
    If you are trying to create some other roles, you can use another domain
    controller to prevent over population of roles in a single domain controller
    that may cause less productivity.
    Michael U. Mamitag
    Domain name service

    It is a service provided by a server that allows you to find other


    computers in your network.

    Allows you to type a friendly name of a machine instead of its


    IP address, allowing your client to get the IP address from the
    DNS server and go find the resources.
    If you are trying to create some other roles, you can use another domain
    controller to prevent over population of roles in a single domain controller
    that may cause less productivity.
    Michael U. Mamitag
    configuring active directory

    Michael U. Mamitag
    Open Server Manager and click on roles, this will bring up
    the Roles Summary on the right side where you can click on
    the Add Roles link.

    Michael U. Mamitag
    Select server role. Check
    Active Directory Domain
    Services then click install (see
    Figure 1.1) from the list, you
    will be told that you need to
    add some features, click on the
    Add Required Features (see
    Figure 2.2) button and click
    next to move on.

    Figure 2.1: Selecting server role

    Michael U. Mamitag
    Figure 2.2: Add features requirements

    Michael U. Mamitag
    A brief introduction to
    Active Directory will be
    displayed as well as a few
    links to additional
    resources, you can just
    click next to skip past
    here and click install to
    start installing the
    binaries for Active
    Directory.

    Figure 3: Confirm installation

    Michael U. Mamitag
    When the installation is
    finished you will be shown a
    message of successful
    configuration, just click
    Close.

    domain controller promotion

    Michael U. Mamitag
    Open Server Manager, expand Roles (click +) and click on Active Directory
    Domain Services. On the right side click on the Run the Active Directory
    Domain Services Installation Wizard (dcpromo.exe) link that show in Figure
    1.6a or you can use an alternative method shows in Figure 1.6b.

    Michael U. Mamitag

    Michael U. Mamitag
    It will show another wizard,
    this time to configure the
    settings for your domain,
    click next to continue.

    Installation Wizard
    Michael U. Mamitag
    The message that is shown
    now relates to older clients
    that do not support the new
    cryptographic algorithms
    supported by Server 2008 R2,
    these are used by default in
    Server 2008 R2, click next to
    move on.

    Michael U. Mamitag
    Choose to create a new
    domain in a new forest.

    Michael U. Mamitag
    Figure 1.9 Deployment Configuration
    You are now able to create
    name for your domain, in this
    lesson, I will be using a .com
    suffix.

    Figure 1.10 Naming the forest root domain


    Michael U. Mamitag
    Change forest
    functional level to
    Server 2008 R2.

    Michael U. Mamitag
    Figure 1.11 Set forest functional level
    Include DNS in our
    installation as this will
    allow us to have an AD
    Integrated DNS Zone,
    when you click next you
    will be prompted with a
    message just click yes to
    continue.

    Figure 1.12 Additional domain controller options


    Michael U. Mamitag
    A delegation for this DNS server
    cannot be created because the
    authoritative parent zone cannot be
    found or it does not run Windows
    DNS server. If you are integrating
    with an existing DNS infrastructure,
    you should manually create a
    delegation to this DNS server in the
    parent zone to ensure reliable name
    resolution from outside the domain
    “itsmeismael.com”. Otherwise, no
    action is required.

    If you are installing a forest root


    domain controller that is using
    Active Directory-integrated DNS,
    you typically do not need to be
    concerned about this warning
    message.
    Figure 1.13 A warning message for active
    directory domain service installation
    Michael U. Mamitag
    You will need to choose a place to
    store log files, it is a best practice
    to store the database and SYSVOL
    folder on one drive and the log files
    on a separate drive, but since this
    is in a lab environment, just leave
    them all on the same drive.

    SYSVOL

    Assign password for
    Administrator account that will
    be used when this domain
    controller is started in Directory
    Service Restore Mode.

    Choose a STRONG Active


    Directory Restore Mode
    Password and click next
    twice to continue the
    Figure 1.15 Directory Services Restore Mode
    configuration.

    You will be able to see what
    components are being
    installed by looking in the
    following box. If the reboot
    on completion check box was
    not checked you will proceed
    to manual reboot shows in
