well let's get started with
the simple WHAT IS ACTIVE DIRECTORY
00:04
question that needs to be
answered right
00:06
up front exactly what is
active
00:08
directory and active
directory is quite
00:12
simply a database now it's a https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nY84mmRKsqA
distributed
00:15
database meaning it's
stored in multiple
00:17
places and it's a multi
master database
00:20
that means I can make
changes in most
00:23
instances notice I said most
instances
00:25
we'll talk about those
exceptions later
00:27
but I can make a change in
any one
00:30
location of the database
that will
00:32
automatically be replicated
around to
00:34
the other locations now in
this database
00:36
Page 20 of 36
 RLC Bldg., National Road, Brgy. San Juan, Taytay, Rizal.
 658-3825; 286-4073

we're going to store

information about
00:38
all of our users all of our
security
00:40
groups and all of our
computers
00:43
predominantly there are
some other
00:44
little things that will get
stored we'll
00:45
talk about later but what's
happened
00:48
here
00:49
let me draw you a little
diagram this is
00:55
going to be a little crude I've
got a
00:56
new mouse it's hard to use
too so I'll
00:59
just make all kind of excuses
but I want
01:01
to drive just a little crude
diagram
01:03
here I've got a server and a
load active
01:06
directory ok and so active
directory is
01:08
a database and notice I'm
going to draw
01:11
a little hard disk here ok
that's a hard
01:14

Page 21 of 36
 RLC Bldg., National Road, Brgy. San Juan, Taytay, Rizal.
 658-3825; 286-4073

disk believe it or not ok now

I have all
01:18
these computers out in my
domain if you
01:21
will and I have grouped all
these
01:23
computers into a domain
and now I want
01:27
to administer them centrally
ok and so
01:30
what I'm going to do is
create an active
01:33
directory database here and
this will
01:36
contain information about
every one of
01:38
these computers and every
one of the
01:40
users that log on to these
computers and
01:42
so forth and it is all stored
actually
01:45
my arrows should probably
go the other
01:46
way it's all stored in this one
Active
01:49
Directory database and so I
can take
01:52
care of security on this
database and so
01:54
forth then I can add another
server

Page 22 of 36
 RLC Bldg., National Road, Brgy. San Juan, Taytay, Rizal.
 658-3825; 286-4073

01:57
later on and I can put a copy
of that
01:59
Active Directory database
on this server
02:02
as well and then users can
connect to
02:05
this server and get my
Active Directory
02:07
information and Active
Directory between
02:10
these two copies will
replicate and keep
02:12
itself
02:13
day on both sides okay so
that's what
02:16
Active Directory is storing
information
02:18
about all my users my
security groups
02:20
and computers think about
that for the
02:23
users users have logon
names they have
02:25
passwords addresses
managers they report
02:29
to zip codes all that sort of
thing so
02:31
once we've got all that
information in
02:33
the Active Directory
database now Active

Page 23 of 36
 RLC Bldg., National Road, Brgy. San Juan, Taytay, Rizal.
 658-3825; 286-4073

02:37
Directory can start to
perform some
02:39
functionalities for us first of
all it
02:41
can authenticate users and
computers
02:43
when the user tries to get
on to the
02:46
system they have to give us
a username
02:48
and a password that's
checked against
02:50
Active Directory to person
knew that
02:52
shared secret between the
user and
02:54
Active Directory same for
computers
02:56
access control we can once
they log on
03:00
we can now say ok so I
know who you are
03:02
but now what can you do
here what
03:05
folders can you open and
what files can
03:07
you open and what folders
and files can
03:09
you not open and I'll
prevent them from
03:11

Page 24 of 36

 658-3825; 286-4073

the happening so that's

another thing
03:13
Active Directory does next
thing is
03:15
auditing functionality it will
help us
03:17
watch and see what's
happening in Active
03:19
Directory if I see that you
are
03:21
constantly trying to open
folders that
03:23
you don't have permissions
to it's
03:25
either a training opportunity
because
03:27
you're confused or there's a
security
03:30
problem you're trying to go
places that
03:31
you're not supposed to go
now let's talk
03:35
about some terms in Active
Directory
03:36
first of all there is Active
Directory
03:39
you'll see ad obviously that
means
03:41
Active Directory you will
also see a DDS
03:44
out there that means Active
Directory

03:46
domain services we'll talk
about those
03:49
in other places in the video
ID a is one
03:52
that's just recently popped
up for me it
03:54
could have been out there
for months and
03:55
I'm going to sleep but I've
noticed just
03:58
in the server 2008 we have
really seen
04:00
this in the Microsoft world
and it means
04:02
identity and access Active
Directory is
04:06
an ID a system or it provides
ID a
04:09
functionalities or services
LDS talks
04:13
about the lightweight
directory services
04:14
we will talk about those
later on the
04:16
video but it just wanted you
to know
04:18
what you're seeing or
hearing when you
04:20
see these acronyms used
out there and
04:22

Page 26 of 36

then ADCs this is Active

Directory
04:24
certificate services
04:27
you will hear that one as
well that has
04:29
a whole idea about
public/private key
04:31
encryption and certificates
to identify
04:34
and provide that third-party
validation
04:36
and so forth we'll talk about
that as
04:38
well later on in the course
so that's a
04:40
rough overview of Active
Directory now
04:42
in the next couple of videos
I'll draw
04:45
some animations about
Active Directory
04:47
help you understand the
various pieces
04:49
and parts of it and then we'll
jump into
04:52

and some of
