Planning and Implementing an Active Directory Infrastructure
This objective domain covers the basic skills involved in the design and planning for domains and forests, as well as the skills required for installation and configuration of domain controllers. Planning is critical to the successful deployment of an Active Directory network. Planning must begin with a good understanding of the organization and its environment. The specific details surrounding an organization’s environment will influence the planning and implementation for that organization. The elements involved in Active Directory planning will range from the network topology to organization charts. While such elements as the network topology will have an impact on the way you design the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Active Directory infrastructure, other elements will be directly affected, such as the existing Microsoft Windows NT or Microsoft Windows 2000 Active Directory domain structures. Installation of the domain controllers is the first part of Active Directory implementation, followed by the configuration of the various elements within each domain and forest. Once you have configured Active Directory to fit in with the organization, you will then configure it to optimize Active Directory traffic. You must be familiar with the tools and techniques that will help you throughout the comptia security implementation process. In which locations can you view performance data logged in a counter log? You can view logged counter data using System Monitor or export the data to a file for analysis and report generation. 4.What is the function of an alert? An alert detects when a predefined counter value rises above or falls below the configured threshold and notifies a user by means of the Messenger service. Alerts enable you to define a counter value that triggers actions such as sending a network message, running a program, making an entry in the application log, or starting a log. 5.Which of the following actions can he triggered by an alert? (Choose two.) a.Logging an entry into the application log b.Starting logging automatically c.Sending a network message to a computer d.Stopping logging automatically e.Presenting data in a graph format The correct answers are a and c. The actions that can be triggered by an CCNA certification alert include logging an entry in the application log in Event Viewer and sending a network message to a computer.
