1 00:00:02,810 --> 00:00:06,140 In this course, we'll be talking about domain controllers. 2 00:00:06,170 --> 00:00:12,320 We'll take a look at what the main controller is and what is a global catalog. 3 00:00:12,350 --> 00:00:17,900 We'll have overview of domain controller as service records and much more. 4 00:00:17,930 --> 00:00:25,640 But before we begin, let's have a look at two quick questions to find out if you already know this 5 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:26,570 information. 6 00:00:26,570 --> 00:00:31,730 So the question is, should a domain controller bear a global catalog? 7 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:36,020 Take your time and press pause here to think about it. 8 00:00:36,020 --> 00:00:43,580 And the answer is global catalog placement affects how long a user takes to sign in. 9 00:00:43,610 --> 00:00:50,540 Therefore, you must carefully plan how to place global catalogs in a single domain environment. 10 00:00:50,570 --> 00:00:58,970 Every domain controller should host the global catalog because every domain controller already holds 11 00:00:58,970 --> 00:01:03,920 a complete copy of the domain in a multiple domain scenario. 12 00:01:03,950 --> 00:01:13,160 You need to consider user sign in times program dependencies the need for high availability of the global 13 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:19,670 catalog and replication traffic when planning global catalog placement. 14 00:01:19,700 --> 00:01:27,830 Now, another question In a multiple domain forest, a copy of the global catalog should be stored on 15 00:01:27,830 --> 00:01:29,790 every domain controller. 16 00:01:29,810 --> 00:01:31,430 Is it true or false? 17 00:01:31,430 --> 00:01:33,680 And the answer is false. 18 00:01:33,710 --> 00:01:41,540 In a single domain, you should configure all domain controllers to hold a copy of the global catalog. 19 00:01:41,570 --> 00:01:48,950 However, in a multiple domain environment, the infrastructure master should not be a global catalog 20 00:01:48,950 --> 00:01:55,820 server unless all the domain controllers in the domain are also global catalog server. 21 00:01:55,940 --> 00:02:02,120 So please remember this information and consider when planning your infrastructure. 22 00:02:02,150 --> 00:02:05,170 Now some words about this course. 23 00:02:05,180 --> 00:02:06,260 Overview. 24 00:02:06,290 --> 00:02:12,920 Or better to say this section Overview which is overview of ads domain controllers. 25 00:02:12,920 --> 00:02:19,020 Because domain controllers authenticate all users and computers in the domain. 26 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:25,440 Domain controller deployment is critical for the network to function correctly. 27 00:02:25,460 --> 00:02:33,470 This section examines domain controllers, the assigning process, and the importance of the DNS and 28 00:02:33,470 --> 00:02:34,660 that process. 29 00:02:34,670 --> 00:02:40,790 In addition, this section discusses the purpose of the global catalog. 30 00:02:40,790 --> 00:02:49,850 All domain controllers are essentially the same, with two exceptions raw DC that is read only domain 31 00:02:49,850 --> 00:02:50,870 controllers. 32 00:02:50,870 --> 00:02:59,840 They contain a redundant copy of the ads database, whereas other domain controllers have a read write 33 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:00,560 copy. 34 00:03:00,590 --> 00:03:10,220 Also, certain operations can be performed only on specific domain controllers, which are called operations 35 00:03:10,220 --> 00:03:15,020 masters, and it will be discussed at the end of this section. 36 00:03:15,020 --> 00:03:21,530 After completing this section, you'll be able to describe the purpose of domain controllers. 37 00:03:21,530 --> 00:03:25,400 Understand what this is, what folder contains. 38 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,520 Describe the purpose of the global catalog. 39 00:03:28,550 --> 00:03:37,850 You'll be able to describe the ads signing process and the importance of DNS and service records, or 40 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:39,440 as the real records. 41 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:47,750 In that process, you'll be able to explain the functions of the operations master and you'll be able 42 00:03:47,750 --> 00:03:52,880 to describe operations, master, role and season. 43 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:54,740 So let's get started.
