Active Directory with Windows Server 2016 - AD Advanced Deployments

The video tutorial discusses the considerations for designing domain and forest structures in IT systems. It covers the decision-making process for choosing between one or multiple domains and forests, focusing on factors like replication, administration, security, and schema compatibility. The tutorial emphasizes that the simplest design is often the best, and it provides insights into scenarios such as multinational requirements, extranet configurations, and mergers.

What is the guiding principle when designing domain and forest structures?

• The simplest design is the best design.

• The most cost-effective design is the best design.

• The most secure design is the best design.

• The most complex design is the best design.

Why might you choose to have multiple domains?

• To reduce security risks.

• To simplify group policy application.

• To accommodate different DNS namespaces.

• To centralize administration.

What is a potential reason for having only one forest?

• To have multiple schemas.

• To allow for different DNS namespaces.

• To simplify security management.

• To increase replication speed.

What might force an organization to have multiple forests?

• Simplified security management.

• Single DNS namespace.

• Centralized administration.

• Incompatible schemas.

How can an empty forest root be beneficial?

• It prevents any domain from being the parent.

• It increases replication speed.

• It simplifies group policy application.

• It allows for centralized administration.

Why might an organization choose to have a separate forest for an extranet?

• To enhance security.

• To allow for multiple schemas.

• To simplify administration.

• To reduce replication costs.

What is a consideration when merging with another company regarding forests?

• Whether to centralize administration.

• Whether to maintain separate forests.

• Whether to use a single DNS namespace.

• Whether to increase replication speed.
