Acknowledgments

A

s professionals in the IT industry, many of you have probably
learned the value of teamwork. Therefore, it will probably come as no sur-
prise to you that this book is the result of a lot of hard work from several
people. In this brief section, I’ll try to give credit where it’s due.
During the last year, I’ve had the pleasure of working with many ener-
getic, enthusiastic, and driven people at QuickArrow, Inc. At first, I was
planning to acknowledge some of the people that I work with. But, it’s much
more appropriate to thank all of them. Just a few short months ago, I could
have easily listed the names of everyone in the company on this page. We
used to be a small team with big plans. Things have changed, and we’re now
a large team (with even bigger plans). The company has grown dramatically,
without sacrificing focus and dedication. In particular, I’d like to thank
Abdul Malik Yoosufani for his continued support, technical direction, and
leadership of such a great company.
Next, I’d like to thank the many people at Sybex with whom I have
worked on this project. Thanks to Neil Edde, Ben Tomkins, and Dann
McDorman for their assistance in the writing process. And, as operating sys-
tems get more and more complex, it seems to become increasingly important
to verify the accuracy of technical information. That’s why technical input
from Michael Chacon and Donald Fuller was so important. Special thanks
must go to Julie Sakaue, the editor with whom I worked most closely
throughout the duration of this project. She’s planning to run a full mara-
thon soon, but I’m sure that will be a walk in the park compared to her hard
work on this project! Thanks also to James Chellis and Matthew Sheltz for
their work on the WinSim tool and other content that you’ll find on the
accompanying CD-ROM. And finally, thanks to Teresa Trego for steering
this project through the many twists and turns that it took before going to
the printer and to Nila Nichols and Andrea Fox for making sure everything
looked just right on the pages before you. I thank all of these people for mak-
ing my job easier, and you can thank them for making this book a complete,
accurate, and valuable resource for IT professionals.
Acknowledgements are difficult to write (at least for me), but the Dedica-
tion was an easy choice—my wife, Monica, has always been a great source
of support and encouragement, despite the seemingly incessant clicking of
my keyboard throughout the night and through long weekends of writing.

Finally, thanks to you—the reader—for using this book. I’m confident
that the information you find here will be an excellent resource as you pre-
pare to work with Windows 2000 in the real world. For most of you, I sus-
pect that it will be a challenge. However, I trust that it will be a personally
and professionally rewarding one.

Introduction

M

icrosoft’s new Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) track for
Windows 2000 is the premier certification for computer industry profession-
als. Covering the core technologies around which Microsoft’s future will be
built, the new MCSE certification is a powerful credential for career
advancement.
This book has been developed, in cooperation with Microsoft Corpora-
tion, to give you the critical skills and knowledge you need to prepare for one
of the core requirements of the new MCSE certification program, Imple-
menting and Administering Windows 2000 Directory Services. You will find
the information you need to acquire a solid understanding of how to setup
and manage the Active Directory, to prepare for Exam 70-217:

Implement-
ing and Administering a Microsoft Windows 2000 Directory Services
Infrastructure

, and to progress toward MCSE certification.

Why Become Certified in Windows 2000?

As the computer network industry grows in both size and complexity, the
need for

proven

ability is increasing. Companies rely on certifications to ver-
ify the skills of prospective employees and contractors.
Whether you are just getting started or are ready to move ahead in the
computer industry, the knowledge, skills, and credentials you have are your
most valuable assets. Microsoft has developed its Microsoft Certified Pro-
fessional (MCP) program to give you credentials that verify your ability to
work with Microsoft products effectively and professionally. The MCP cre-
dential for professionals who work with Microsoft Windows 2000 networks
is the new MCSE certification.
Over the next few years, companies around the world will deploy millions
of copies of Windows 2000 as the central operating system for their mission-
critical networks. This will generate an enormous need for qualified consult-
ants and personnel to design, deploy, and support Windows 2000 networks.
Windows 2000 is a huge product that requires professional skills of its
administrators. Consider that Windows NT 4 has about 12 million lines of
code, while Windows 2000 has more than 35 million! Much of this code is
needed to deal with the wide range of functionality that Windows 2000
offers.

Introduction

Windows 2000 actually consists of several different versions:

Windows 2000 Professional

The client edition of Windows 2000,
which is comparable to Windows NT 4 Workstation, but also includes
the best features of Windows 98 and many new features.

Windows 2000 Server/Windows 2000 Advanced Server

A server edi-
tion of Windows 2000 for small to mid-sized deployments. Advanced
Server supports more memory and processors than Server does.

Windows 2000 Datacenter Server

A server edition of Windows 2000
for large, wide-scale deployments and computer clusters. Datacenter
Server supports the most memory and processors of the three versions.
With such an expansive operating system, companies need to be certain
that you are the right person for the job being offered. The MCSE is designed
to help prove that you are.

As part of its promotion of Windows 2000, Microsoft has announced that
MCSEs who have passed the Windows NT 4 core exams must upgrade their
certifications to the new Windows 2000 track by December 31, 2001 to remain
certified. The MCSE Study Guide series published by Sybex covers the full
range of exams required for either obtaining or upgrading your certification.
For more information, see the “Exam Requirements” section later in this

Introduction.

Is This Book for You?

If you want to acquire a solid foundation in implementing and administering
Windows 2000 Directory Services, this book is for you. You’ll find clear
explanations of the fundamental concepts you need to grasp.
If you want to become certified as an MCSE, this book is definitely for
you. However, if you just want to attempt to pass the exam without really
understanding Windows 2000, this book is

not

for you. This book is written
for those who want to acquire hands-on skills and in-depth knowledge of
Windows 2000.
If your goal is to prepare for the exam by learning how to use and manage
the new operating system, this book is for you. It will help you to achieve the
high level of professional competency you need to succeed in this field.

What Does This Book Cover?

This book contains detailed explanations, hands-on exercises, and review
questions to test your knowledge.
Think of this book as your complete guide to implementing and admin-
istering Windows 2000 Directory Services. It begins by presenting an over-
view of the Active Directory. Next, you will learn how to perform important
tasks, including:


Creating a Windows 2000 Active Directory domain


Installing and configuring objects within the Active Directory


Monitoring and managing various aspects of the Active Directory


Managing new features of the Active Directory, including security
configuration, the use of Group Policies, DNS, and software deploy-
ment


Working with the Active Directory in distributed network environ-
ments


Troubleshooting various aspects of the Active Directory
Throughout the book, you will be guided through hands-on exercises,
which give you practical experience for each exam objective. At the end of
each chapter, you’ll find a summary of the topics covered in the chapter,
which also includes a list of the key terms used in that chapter. The key terms
represent not only the terminology that you should recognize, but also the
underlying concepts that you should understand to pass the exam. All of the
key terms are defined in the glossary at the back of the study guide.
Finally, each chapter concludes with 20 review questions that test your
knowledge of the information covered. You’ll find an entire practice exam,
with 50 additional questions, in Appendix A. Many more questions, as well
as multimedia demonstrations of the hands-on exercises, are included on the
CD that accompanies this book, as explained in the “What’s on the CD?”
section at the end of this Introduction.

The topics covered in this book map directly to Microsoft’s official exam

objectives. Each exam objective is covered completely.

Introduction

How Do You Become an MCSE?

Attaining MCSE certification has always been a challenge. However, in the
past, individuals could acquire detailed exam information—even most of the
exam questions—from online “brain dumps” and third-party “cram” books
or software products. For the new MCSE exams, this simply will not be the
case.
To avoid the “paper-MCSE syndrome” (a devaluation of the MCSE cer-
tification because unqualified individuals manage to pass the exams),
Microsoft has taken strong steps to protect the security and integrity of the
new MCSE track. Prospective MSCEs will need to complete a course of
study that provides not only detailed knowledge of a wide range of topics,
but true skills derived from working with Windows 2000 and related soft-
ware products.
In the new MCSE program, Microsoft is heavily emphasizing hands-on
skills. Microsoft has stated that, “Nearly half of the core required exams’
content demands that the candidate have troubleshooting skills acquired
through hands-on experience and working knowledge.”
Fortunately, if you are willing to dedicate time and effort with Windows
2000, you can prepare for the exams by using the proper tools. If you work
through this book and the other books in this series, you should successfully
meet the exam requirements.
This book is a part of a complete series of Sybex MCSE Study Guides,
published by Sybex, that covers the five core Windows 2000 requirements as
well as the new Design electives you need to complete your MCSE track.
Titles include:


MCSE: Windows 2000 Professional Study Guide


MCSE: Windows 2000 Server Study Guide


MCSE: Windows 2000 Network Infrastructure Administration Study
Guide


MCSE: Windows 2000 Network Security Design Study Guide


MCSE: Windows 2000 Network Infrastructure Design Study Guide


MCSE: Windows 2000 Directory Services Design Study Guide
There are also study guides available from Sybex on additional MCSE
electives.

Exam Requirements

Successful candidates must pass a minimum set of exams that measure tech-
nical proficiency and expertise:


Candidates for MCSE certification must pass seven exams, including
four core operating system exams, one design exam, and two electives.


Candidates who have already passed three Windows NT 4 exams (70-
067, 70-068, and 70-073) may opt to take an “accelerated” exam plus
one core design exam and two electives.

If you do not pass the accelerated exam after one attempt, you must pass the

five core requirements and two electives.

The following table shows the exams a new certification candidate must pass.
