6.4.4 Explain the Structure of Domain System

Single Domain

Updated: March 28, 2003
Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2
A single domain model is the easiest to administer and the least expensive to maintain. It consists of a forest that contains a single domain. This domain is the forest root domain and it contains all of the user and group accounts in the forest.
A single domain forest model reduces administrative complexity by providing the following advantages:
Any domain controller can authenticate any user in the forest.
All domain controllers can be global catalogs; therefore, you do not need to plan for global catalog server placement.
In a single domain forest, all directory data is replicated to all geographic locations that host domain controllers. While this model is the easiest to manage, it also creates the most replication traffic of the two domain models. Partitioning the directory into multiple domains limits the replication of objects to specific geographic regions but results in more administrative overhead

Forest Domain :
At its highest level, a forest is a single instance of Active Directory. Therefore, a forest is synonymous with Active Directory, meaning that the set of all directory partitions in a particular Active Directory instance (which includes all domain, configuration, schema and optional application information) makes up a forest. This means that when you have multiple forests in an enterprise they will, by default, act separately from each other as if they were the only directory service in your organization.
This behavior, however, is easily be modified so that multiple forests can share Active Directory responsibilities across an enterprise. This is done by creating external or forest trust relationships between the forests. In this way, each forest can be connected with every other forest to form a collaborative directory service solution for any enterprise with business needs that include multiple forest collaboration.
Forests can also be defined as:
Collections of Domain Containers that Trust Each Other
Units of Replication
Security Boundaries
Units of Delegation
Forests can be used to segregate domain containers into one or more unique DNS namespace hierarchies known as domain trees

3.1.1 Identify Between Resident And Transient Routines

Memory Management Memory management is concerned with managing: The computer’s available pool of memory Allocating space to application routines and making sure that they do not interfere with each other. 3.1.1 Identify between resident and transient routines The operating system is a collection of software routines. Resident routines Transient routines Routines that directly support application programs as they run Stored on disk and read into memory only when needed Example: routine that control physical I/O Example: routine that formats disks The operating system occupies low memory beginning with address 0. Key control information comes first followed by the various resident operating system routines. The remaining memory, called the transient area, is where application programs and transient operating system routines are loaded. Resident & transient routines structure...

Operating Systems Definition and the Classification of OS

OPERATING SYSTEMS ( OS ) What is an operating system? An operating system (sometimes abbreviated as "OS") is the program that, after being initially loaded into the computer by a boot program, manages all the other programs in a computer. The other programs are called applications or application programs. The application programs make use of the operating system by making requests for services through a defined application program interface (API). In addition, users can interact directly with the operating system through a user interface such as a command language or a graphical user interface (GUI). An operating system performs these services for applications: In a multitasking operating system where multiple programs can be running at the same time, the operating system determines which applications should run in what order and how much time should be allowed for each application before g...

2.1.4 Distinguish between logical I/O and physical I/O

2.1.4 Distinguish between logical I/O and physical I/O logical input relate to hard disk Logical I/O an Physical I/O Physical" I/O is an actual fetch of data from a storage device such as a disk. Logical" I/O is a programmatic request for data satisfied by a memory (block, buffer) access. A logical I/O may cause a physical I/O in the first place, or a logical I/O may retrieve a part of a block (buffer) of data from memory. 2.1.5 Distinguish between directory management and disk space management. Directory management A directory is a hierarchical collection of directories and files. The only constraint on the number of files that can be contained in a single directory is the physical size of the disk on which the directory is located. Disk management A hard disk is a rigid disk inside a computer that stores and provides relatively quick access to large amounts of data. It is the type of storage most often used with Windows. The system also supp...
