1.WhatistheDifferenceBetweenDNS&WINSServers?
DomainNameSystem(DNS):
1.ItresolvesHostnamestoIPaddressesandviceversa
2.ItsupportsHierarchicalStructureforhostnames
3.Hostnameupto64Characters(FQDNisupto255characters)
4.ItworkswithWindowsandUnix
5.DNSworkswithonlyTCP/IPprotocol
6.DNSisstaticinNT4.0andDynamicin2000onwards
WindowsInternetNameService(WINS):
1.ItresolvesNetBIOSnamestoIPaddressesandviceversa
2.ItsupportsFlatstructureforNetBIOSnames
3.Hostnameisupto15characters(16thcharacterindicatesservice)
4.WorkswithonlyWindows
5.WorkswithonlyTCP/IPProtocol
6.ItsupportstheDynamicupdationofthedatabase
2.WhatistheDifferenceBetweenDiskDuplexing&DiskMirroring?
DiskMirroring:Diskmirroringusesonlyonediskcontroller.InRAID1,ordiskmirroring,onedrivein

23.Whatarethe4PartitionsoftheADS,explain?
NamingContextsandDirectoryPartitions:
EachdomaincontrollerinanActiveDirectoryforestincludesdirectorypartitions.Directorypartitions
arealsoknownasnamingcontexts.Adirectorypartitionisacontiguousportionoftheoverall
directorythathasindependentreplicationscopeandschedulingdata.Bydefault,theActive
Directoryforanenterprisecontainsthefollowingpartitions:
SchemaPartition:Schemaholdsinformationonthedefinitionofobjectswithinthenetwork.The
schemapartitioncontainstheclassSchemaandattributeSchemaobjectsthatdefinethetypesof

4.WhichprotocolisusedbehindtheADS?
LightWeightDirectoryAccessProtocol(LDAP)isused
25.WhatisthedifferencebetweenLDAPandDAP?
LightweightDirectoryAccessProtocol:
LDAPisacommunicationprotocoldesignedforuseonTCP/IPnetworks.LDAPdefineshowa
directoryclientcanaccessadirectoryserverandhowtheclientcanperformdirectoryoperationsand
sharedirectorydata.LDAPstandardsareestablishedbyworkinggroupsoftheInternetEngineering
TaskForce(IETF).ActiveDirectoryimplementstheLDAPattributedraftspecificationsandtheIETF
standardsforLDAPversions2and3.
Asitsnameimplies,LDAPisdesignedasanefficientmethodforaccessingdirectoryservices
withoutthecomplexityofotherdirectoryserviceprotocols.BecauseLDAPdefineswhatoperations
canbeperformedtoqueryandmodifyinformationinadirectoryandhowinformationinadirectory
canbesecurelyaccessed,youcanuseLDAPtofindorenumeratedirectoryobjectsandtoqueryor
administerActiveDirectory.

(classSchemaobjects)andoneforeachattribute(attributeSchemaobjects).However,thereareno
objectsforthesyntaxestheyarehardcodedintoActiveDirectory.Thismeansthatclassesand
attributescanbecreatedandmodified,butsyntaxescannot.
GlobalCatalog:TheGlobalcatalogisthecentralrepositoryofinformationaboutobjectsinatreeor
