Class Notes
Introduction
Domains provide an easier way for Administrators to manage Accounts, Permissions and Security for a large network.
Domain Basics
Domain controllers provide access keys to clients to allow or restrict access to network resources
Single place to administer permissions and security
Permissions and Security can be assigned to: Users, Groups, Organization Units
Permissions mean access to shared resources such as files, folders and printers. Security means restrictions about changing desktop background, password policies, access to local drives.
Ways to Have a doming
Windows is the standard type of domain environment
SAMBA — Linux version of a PDC
Novell — Still exists…
You need a business class Windows Operating System to join a domain. XP Pro, Vista Business / Ultimate, 7 Business / Ultimate
Domain Controllers
PDC/ BDC Structure. The PDC has a read and write copy of the security database. If the PDC fails a BDC will provide security information to the network. The BDC has a READ only copy of the database and so administrators cannot change user permissions on a BDC. A BDC can be promoted to a PDC. There is only one PDC in a domain at a time.
Active Directory. All Domain Controllers have read and write access (Theoretically, this can be modified).
Structure
Trusts allow users from one Domain to log on to computer in another Domain. Small offices would never need this. This is for large corporations that own numerous companies. If the Geek from the parent company needs to do work on the computers at the child company a trust relationship between the domains would be created.
There are multiple types of Trusts: One Way, Two Way, Transient
Final Thoughts
Domains are a great tool for large networks, but they require specialized computer technicians and equipment. Depending on the cost/ benefit analysis they may not be a good idea for small networks.
Resources
Novel Open Enterprise Server
SAMBA
Understanding Organizational Units
After setting up the domain, is there anyway to recover the user bookmarks/passwords from the browser?

U are amazing. Thankxx
Naspster.. Ok I get it, I’m old… Thanks for reminding me.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Simply amazing man! Great help. Thanks a lot
The best class on the DC ever!
Thanks for this very clear overview, well done! 🙂
As all of this playlist great video, simply explained.
Just one question about the trust part:
How can the access key that the Executive DC give the Geek user be enough?
I mean, the Executive DC can easily give access to run some softwares and stuff, but what if there is a folder in the Sales domain that the Executive DC doesn’t know? The access key that is given from the Executive DC shouldn’t have the information about whether the Geek user can or cannot have access that folder.
What certification can be done to learn more about stuff like this
thanks Eli.
Awesome class
way better than my school teacher , Cheers mate and keep it up

While this is old. It is still super helpful. Thank you Eli for putting this together and making this as interesting as possible.
