Active Directory Domain Service Design
- Single forest single domain is preferred, 2,150,000,000 objects per domain, FQDN less than 64 characters
- PDC act as the time root in forest (w32tm /config /computer:BJDC01.alphabook.com.cn /manualpeerlist:time.windows.com /syncfromflags:manual /update)
- Implement multiple/backup domain controllers (all GCs), implement multiple sites as needed (site, subnet,site link(180 minutes default, 15 minutes minimum), bridge all site links(default))
- Enable Active Directory Recycle Bin
- Enable Protect object from accidental deletion (User, OU, etc)
- Fill user account more properties (City, Country, Phone, Job Title, Department, Manager...)
- Grant permission per group, not a single user
- Delegate IT helpdesk group unlock user account permission
- Delegate IT helpdesk group join computer into domain permission
FSMO (Flexible single master operation)
5 FSMO roles
- Schema master / Forest level
- To make change Schema in forest (such as Exchange, Lync, SCCM)
- Domain naming master / Forest level
- To add/remove domain in forest
- PDC / Domain level
- Time root in forest (PDC->DCs->Computers)
- Group policy central management
- Handle password change specially (the change will sync to PDC immediately)
- Handle user account lock specially
- RID pool master / Domain level
- Assign RIDs to DCs (500/time)
- Infrastucture master / Domain level
- Objects reference in different domains
To check the FSMO servers
- netdom query fsmo
To transfer / seize to FSMO roles
- Ntdsutil
