Active Directory Proposal

Riordan Manufacturing Active Directory Proposal Summary The following is a suggestion for implementing Active Directory within the Riordan Manufacturing organization. The main reference material of this proposal is Microsoft's guide "Best Practices for Active Directory Design for Windows Network Management". The following content provides a practical definition of Microsoft Active Directory and is useful for detailed analysis of Riordan, Riordan's Active Directory Basic Diagram, and Active Directory Diagram.

Proposal for Windows network: Crete LLC 2 Windows Server 2012 uses security and general management functions. This network proposal is used to implement Windows Server 2012 to cover Group Policy, Active Directory, DNS, File Services, Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), and Remote Service. This proposal also includes planning to maintain all Windows settings while maintaining domain name handling, remote office access, data security, and Crete LLC business goals. For Active Directory Active Directory, Crete LLC uses the regional domain model. One location is the forest root and all other locations are designated as the domain structure's regional domain tree. As shown in Figure 1, we will use the Houston branch as the root of the domain name and make Dallas and Los Angeles regional domain names. This allows the Crete LLC domain to "maintain a stable environment over time".

Overview Active Directory contains information about various kinds of objects. They are hierarchically organized into larger logical units, ie containers, domains, and domain forests. Physically, the Active Directory database contains a set of files that can be backed up and restored. Currently, you can not perform incremental backups of Active Directory and only perform full backups. There are two modes in an Active Directory domain: mixed mode and native mode. Active Directory is tightly integrated with DNS. To install and run Active Directory, DNS is required on the network. Active Directory uses SRV RR to publish your address. Here, the name of the Active Directory service is mapped to the address of the DC serving the service. Accessing the Active Directory DNS and LDAP interfaces will help you to scout the network. The service location and DC address can be obtained by listing DNS zones or by querying specific names.

Because Active Directory and Active Directory DNS integration is tightly integrated with DNS, Microsoft named Active DNS. This is wonderful. To install and run Active Directory, DNS is required on the network. This is a big change for those migrating from non-transmission control protocol / internet protocol (TCP / IP) networks. Using Active Directory has two effects on the DNS service. ■ Configuration and Implementation ... About the SRV RR service locator (see Note Request 2052) RR is used to locate Active Directory domain controllers. With this type of RR, you can use a single DNS query to find multiple servers that provide the same type of service. In Active Directory, the SRV RR is how the client uses LDAP to search DC over TCP port 389.
