Trust Relationship
A trust relationship means that users in one domain can
access resources in a different domain.
Trust relationships exist between all domains in a forest.
Forest trusts allow all domains in one forest to automatically
trust all domains in a second forest.
Trusts can be changed: 2 way, 1 way

Web-Based Administration
Windows Server 2003 has a Web-based administrative
interface.
This allows you to perform administrative duties via a Web
browser, including checking logs, managing users, and groups
and starting and shutting down services.
This Admin method can tolerate connection interruptions
and delays that other administration methods cannot.
Only basic administrative functions can be performed via the
Web interface.
LAN Infrastructure
Windows Server 2003 can host a variety of LAN
infrastructure services such as DNS, DHCP, and WINS
servers.
Use the Add/Remove Windows Components section of
Add/Remove programs in the Control Panel to add services.
When Windows Server
2003 provides these
infrastructure services,
it must use a static IP
address.
Configure a Static IP
1. Open Network Connections
from the Control Panel.
2. Right-click Local Area
Connection and select Properties.
3. Select Internet Protocol and then
click Properties.
4. Select Use the following IP
address and enter IP address
information.
A stub zone is an abbreviated zone that contains only a list of name servers
for the target zone. Stub zones are read only and are updated by contacting a
DNS server hosting the primary zone. Any Windows Server 2003 DNS
server can host a stub zone.
WINS Server
Windows Internet Naming System is a legacy name resolution protocol.
WINS translates NetBIOS names into IP addresses.
WINS is required for LANs that must support Windows NT4 and
Windows 9x clients.
WINS is not required if all computers on the LAN are Windows 2000,
Windows XP or Windows Server 2003. DNS is used for these
computers.
WINS uses Push/Pull replication. When a pull occurs, all information is
transferred to the server performing the pull. When a push occurs, only
updates are transferred to the target server.

Summary
A domain is a centralized collection of common security policies, user and computer
accounts.
Domain controllers are special computers that host Active Directory. Domain
controllers authenticate logons and host common security policy, user and computer
accounts.
A forest is a collection of domains that share the same Active Directory schema. All
domains in a forest automatically trust each other.
A tree is a collection of domains within a forest that share a common DNS namespace.
Windows Server 2003 can be managed via MMC, Web Interface, or Remote Desktop.
Infrastructure servers should use static IP addresses.
ADI Zones are hosted on domain controllers. Any DNS server hosting an ADI Zone
can process updates to that zone.
WINS servers are used to support older clients such as WinNT4 & Win9x.
Discussion Questions
In what types of situations would you configure a short
DHCP lease?
What are the benefits of an ADI zone over a primary zone?
Why should an infrastructure server (DNS, DHCP) be
configured with a static, rather than dynamic, IP address?
What is the difference between a domain, a tree, and a
forest?
What are the limitations of remotely administering via
MMC as opposed to Remote Desktop?
