authentication

A process that confirms a user's identity, and the account is assigned permissions and rights that authorize the user to access resources and perform certain tasks on the computer or domain.

Knowledge Consistency Checker (KCC)

A process that runs on every domain controller to determine the replication topology.

Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)

A protocol that runs over TCP/IP and is designed to facilitate access to directory services and directory objects. It's based on a suite of protocols called X.500 developed by the International Telecommunications Union.

directory partition

A section of an Active Directory database stored on a domain controller's hard drive. These sections are managed by different processes and replicated to other domain controllers in an Active Directory network.

right

A setting that specifies what types of actions a user can perform on a computer or network.

SYSVOL folder

A shared folder that stores information from Active Directory that's replicated to other domain controllers.

Flexible Single Master Operations (FSMO)

A specialized domain controller task that handles operations that can affect the entire domain or forest.

leaf object

A type of Active Directory object that doesn't contain other objects and usually represents a security account, network resource, or GPO.

domain user account

A user account created in Active Directory that provides a single logon for users to access all resources in the domain for which they have been authorized.

local user account Local user accounts are mainly used on standalone computers or in a workgroup network with computers that aren't part of an Active Directory domain.

A user account defined on a local computer that's authorized to access resources only on that computer.

user principal name (UPN)

A user logon name that follows the format username@domain. Users can use UPNs to sign in to their own domain from a computer that's a member of a different domain.

An Active Directory partition that stores configuration information that can affect the entire forest, such as details on how domain controllers should replicate with one another.

assigned application

An application package made available to users via Group Policy and places a shortcut to the application in the Start screen. The application is installed automatically if a user tries to run it or opens a document associated with it. If the assigned application applies to a computer account, the application is installed the next time Windows boots.

published application

An application package made available via Group Policy for users to install by using Programs and Features in Control Panel. The application is installed automatically if a user tries to run it or opens a document associated with it.

trust relationship

An arrangement that defines whether and how security principals from one domain can access network resources in another domain.

extension

An item in a Group Policy Object (GPO) that allows an administrator to configure a policy setting.

Install from Media (IFM)

An option when installing a DC in an existing domain; much of the Active Directory database contents are copied to the new DC from media created from an existing DC.

Information that defines the type, organization, and structure of data stored in the Active Directory database.

Active Directory

The Windows directory service that enables administrators to create and manage users and groups, set networkwide user and computer policies, manage security, and organize network resources.

The core structural unit of Active Directory; contains OUs and represents administrative, security, and policy boundaries.

forest root domain

The first domain created in a new forest.

relative identifier (RID)

The part of a SID that's unique for each Active Directory object. See also security identifier (SID).

multimaster replication

B) LDAP

The protocol for accessing Active Directory objects and services is based on which of the following standards? A) DNS B) LDAP C) DHCP D) ICMP

Active Directory replication

The transfer of information between and among all domain controllers to make sure they have consistent and up-to-date information.
