allowing them (client computer) to access available information or resources.
What is Domain?
It is a logical group of computer that share a central directory database. The
machine are all named with part of domain name like itsmeismael.com (also called
a “suffix”) and registered in the active directory database so they can be managed.
Forest is comprised of all the domains in your enterprise. Your forest may only one
domain. Users are also part of “namespace”.
Example: Your email address is a part of domain namespace.
info@itsmeismael.com
Note: Email-like logins are also called “User Principle Names” when used to log
into a Server 2008 R2 network.
Syntax:
dsadd user ”cn=Username,ou=OUName, dc=YOurndomain, dc=yoursuffix”
Example
dsadd user “itsmeuser, ou=CSSStudents, dc=css, dc=com”
If you are going to add users’ complete name use the following syntax.
dsadd user “itsmeuser, ou=CSSStudents, dc=css, dc=com “ –fn Ismael –ln Balana –
pwd css_2016 –mustpwd no
If you want fast and easy creation of users just use the following codes, but this time
you need type the codes using Notepad or any equivalent text editor.
1. Open notepad or notepad++ > then type an example shown below
Syntax:
dsadd user “cn=%1, ou=OUName, dc=YourDomain, dc=YourSuffix” –fn%2 –ln%3 –
pwd Password –mustchpwd yes
Example:
dsadd user “cn=%1, ou=CSSUsers, dc=itsmeismael, dc=com” –fn%2 –ln%3 –pwd
css_2016 –mustchpwd yes
OU VS GROUP
OU’s keep your object organized and are used to control what users and computers
can and can’t do.
Groups are active directory objects that allow you to provide and deny access to
resources like printer folder en masse. Groups are reside in organizational unit.
Folder Redirection allows you as an administrator to point a number of special
folders, such as Documents, Music and Downloads, to locations of your choice. The
most common use of this is to locate folders such as My Documents on a network
share so that it can be centrally backed up.
As of Windows Server 2008 R2, the folders you can redirect are as follow
AppData (Roaming)
Desktop
Start Menu
Documents
Pictues
Music
Video
Favourites
Contacts
Downloads
Links
Searches
Saved Games
One of the most useful things you can do is redirecting the Documents folder (or My
Documents for Windows XP and earlier). This allows you to store a user’s files on a
network share, rather than in their local user profile. This has a number of
advantages, including allowing you to back up these files centrally, and giving users
access to their files even if they log on to a number of different computers. You can
couple Folder Redirection with Offline Files to ensure that people can continue to
work on their files even when they are not connected to your network.
