8. Making A Forest Design
Simplified Version
• Visualize the forest from
afar.
• Visualize how the forest was
designed. With planning or
sprinkled about.
• Think now of Departments.
• Big or Little – How many
trees will be in your forest?
• Will you make it organized
or disorganized?
• So get to designing!
Academic Way
• Microsoft admits it is hard to
understand forests and trees.
• Understanding names: parent
domain; tree root; namespace; root
domain; security boundary, etc.
• Active Directory Wizard – Global
Catalog helps.
• Dictionary words included.
• Decommissioning a forest.
• Change the functional level of a
forest.
• Use Domain and Trusts snap-in
• Structure of the sites before the
forest is built.
• Realms; subnets; logical
separations and replication
• All the help you will ever need.
10. Trusts
• One Way
• Two Way
• Incoming
• Outgoing
• Transitive A=B, B=C, A=C
• Parent
• Child
• External
• Realm
• Tree Root
• Forest Trusts
• Shortcut
• Merging server 2003 into
server 2008
• Setup root DNS server
• Must have: Administrator
access
• Setup One Way Incoming
on Local Domain
• Ask Administrator on
Other Side to make a One
Way Incoming Trust.
• Or Use the New Trust
Wizard to create both
sides by remote
Visualize if you will. Imagine you are on a hill looking down at a Forest. Imagine what type of trees are in the forest. Take some time to figure out what kind of trees they are.
Are they in rows like a fruit orchard, or with seedlings that had a pattern to them for good pollination? Or do they look like someone just sprinkled various seedlings about and hoped for the best?
Even a sole proprietor has accounting for account receivables and payables and purchasing and sales and wages and even technology if they want to stay up in society. So make a list: one like the Acme Security chart but remember there should be no less than 3 departments or trees under at least one forest.
Purposes just like the trees in a forest with planning or sprinkled about, so do company departments or domains have a similar color or purpose.
When you want to save a page online to refer to it later you want to bookmark it but if you get too many then you are disorganized and have trouble finding pages by interest. That is why you need to make folders. Like in email accounts or the favorites on your operating system.
These two are actually quite cohesive.
Linking 3 & 8 ea. must have a successful forest by setting the Root DNS to contain both. 1way-1domain trusts but not the other way. 2way – both domains share resources. Trans- rule of equality therefore 2way.
