18. Active Directory




Active directory is the core of Microsoft’s network
operating system.
Active directory refers to the directory services
(the database) that contains data on all of the
objects within the forest, and it allows
administrators to centrally manage the network.
This database is contained on server hosting the
role of AD DS.
Enables administrators to assign system policies,
deploy software to client computers, and assign
permissions and rights to users of network
resources

19. Active Directory Domain
Services



ADDS are the foundation for distributed
networks built on Windows Server 2008
operating systems that use domain controllers
ADDS stores directory data and manages
communication between users and domains,
including users logon processes,
authentication and directory searches

or elements of a network.

23. DHCP Server



Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Server
role provides automatic IP addresses to
computers and other devices that are enabled
as DHCP clients.
DHCP is configured with scopes to identify the
range of available IP addresses to give to
computers on that scope.
The primary tools for managing DHCP servers
are Netsh commands for DHCP and the DHCP
console.

24. DNS Server



A DNS Server provides name resolution for
TCP/IP based networks.
It makes it possible for users of client
computers to use names rather than numeric
IP addresses to identify remote hosts.
When installing ADDS role, you can
automatically install and configure a DNS
server if a DNS server that meets ADDS
requirements cannot be located.
