AD DS Design
-
Single forest single domain is preferred
-
Time is important (PDC)
-
Implement multiple/backup domain controllers
-
2,150,000,000 objects per domain
-
FQDN less than 64 characters
FSMO (Flexible single master operation)
| Schema master | Forest level | To make change into Schema in forest (such as implement Exchange, Lync) |
| Domain naming master | Forest level | To add/remove domain in forest |
| PDC | Domain level |
|
| RID Pool master | Domain level | Assign RIDs (500/time) to DC |
| Infrastucture master | Domain level | Objects reference in different domains |
# To check the FSMO servers
netdom query fsmo
# To transfer / seize
netdom /?
