Active Directory with Windows Server 2016 - RODCs

The video tutorial explains the concept of a Read-Only Domain Controller (RODC) and its role in enhancing security for remote offices with limited IT staff. It covers the installation and configuration process, highlighting the differences between RODC and writable domain controllers. The tutorial also delves into password replication policies, offering guidance on setting up domain-wide and RODC-specific policies. Best practices and limitations of using RODC are discussed, emphasizing its inability to serve as an operations master or bridgehead server, and the importance of WAN link availability for authentication.

What is the primary purpose of a Read-Only Domain Controller (RODC)?

• To replace all domain controllers

• To enhance security in remote offices with limited IT staff

• To allow write access to all users

• To serve as a backup for all domain controllers

How does an RODC handle changes in the domain?

• It does not handle any changes

• It allows users to make changes directly

• It pushes changes to other domain controllers

• It pulls changes from other domain controllers

What is a key feature of the RODC's password caching mechanism?

• It caches all passwords by default

• It allows local authentication without WAN dependency

• It requires WAN access for all authentications

• It does not cache any passwords

Which group is automatically denied password caching on an RODC?

• Local Users

• Domain Admins

• Remote Users

• Allowed RODC Password Replication Group

What is a best practice for setting up RODC password replication policies?

• Allow all users by default

• Set a global deny list and a local allow list

• Use only local policies

• Deny all users by default

Which role cannot be performed by an RODC?

• Operations Master Role

• Password Caching

• Local Authentication

• Read-Only Access

Why is WAN availability crucial for RODC operations?

• For allowing write access

• For authenticating users on the denied list

• For updating the RODC software

• For local password changes
