Chapter 12 - Managing Active Directory

Chapter 12

Tasks like promoting domain controllers and creating and configuring objects are required in every Active Directory installation, but many administrators of smaller networks never have to deal with the more advanced features of Active Directory. This chapter discusses Active Directory management tools that administrators use only once in a great while, and some administrators never use at all. Tasks like modifying the Active Directory schema and dividing a large network into sites are not to be taken lightly. You should fully understand the ramifications of your actions before you even load tools like Active Directory Sites and Services or Active Directory Schema snap-ins.
