The physical design of a Windows Server 2003 network controls and balances two important functions: authentication and replication. In addition, Active Directory provides all users and administrators with the tools to see and use all the objects within it. An effective physical design balances the needs of the users and administrators to quickly access information against the capabilities of the network to provide this access. Concerns and challenges include the security, bandwidth, capacity, and fault tolerance of the entire network. In this section, we examine the tools that are used to create this balance and the methods you can employ to design a network that takes advantage of the inherent strengths of Windows Server 2003.
