Intro

AD DS and its related services form the foundation for enterprise networks that run Windows operating systems.

AD DS logical components are structures that you use to implement an AD DS design that is appropriate for an organization.

In AD DS, you must provide all users that require access to network resources with a user account.

Many apps contain services that you install on the server that hosts the program.

Group managed service accounts enable you to extend the capabilities of standard managed service accounts to more than one server in your domain.

Although it might be practical to assign permissions and rights to individual user accounts in small networks, this becomes impractical and inefficient in large enterprise networks.

In a Windows Server enterprise network, there are two types of groups, described in the following table.

Windows Server supports group scoping.

The Computers container is a built-in container in an AD DS domain. This container is the default location for the computer accounts when a computer joins the domain.

A forest is a top-level container in AD DS.

An AD DS domain is a logical container for managing user, computer, group, and other objects.

AD DS trusts enable access to resources in a complex AD DS environment.

An OU is a container object within a domain that you can use to consolidate users, computers, groups, and other objects.

AD DS has several built-in containers, or generic containers, such as Users and Computers.

The administrative needs of the organization dictate the design of an OU hierarchy. The hierarchy should make it possible to administer AD DS resources as effectively and flexibly as possible.

The Active Directory Administrative Center provides a GUI that is based on Windows PowerShell.

Windows Admin Center is a web-based console that you can use to manage server computers and computers that are running Windows 10.

RSAT is a collection of tools which enables you to manage Windows Server roles and features remotely.
