Describe the purpose of domain controllers and install a domain controller.
As you might know, Active Directory Domain Services and its related services form the Foundation for
Enterprise Networks that run Windows operating systems.
The Ads database is a central store of all the domain objects, such as user accounts, computer accounts
and groups.
Ads provides a searchable hierarchical directory and a method for applying configuration and security
settings for raw objects in the enterprise.
This section covers the structure of ads and its various components, such as forests, domains and
organizational units or or use with an increasing focus on cloud and hybrid environments.
Windows Server 2016 includes several new ads features that make it easier to manage this environment.
