What is Virtualization

VIRTUALIZATION

As word Virtualization defines, convert some physical component into a digital form. When we talk about Server virtualization, we are talking about converting physical hardware into multiple or single digital segment. We also have different kind of virtualization concepts given below:

ü  Server Virtualization: As explained above

ü  Application Virtualization: Application runs on another host from where it is installed in a variety of way. For example, Application streaming, VDI, VM Package.

ü  Network Virtualization: Segmenting physical NIC to multiple of digital NIC segments, Switches and VLANs etc.

ü  Storage Virtualization: Physical available storage to multiple digital storage segment for Virtual machines.

VMware ESX is based on bear metal which means it can be install directly on physical hardware. No need of base OS in order to run it. In such case the virtualization architecture called as hosted virtualization architecture like VMware Workstation or Microsoft Virtual PC.

Active Directory Replication

Active Directory Replication: is the process by which a change made to an Active Directory objects on one domain controller is propagate to another domain controller. Type of change can be addition, modification, container change or deletion of an object. When a change occurs, domain controller notify to other domain controller which is called Change Notification . Then replication partners generates Change Request . Then the source domain controller send the Update to replication partners.  The delay between the time a change occurs and the time it is propagated to all domain controllers in the site is known as  Replication Latency . 15 Sec for first direct replication partner (Configurable) 3 sec for rest replication partner (Configurable) Security updates like Password lock do not wait for 15 sec and replicates immediately and known as Urgent Replication . Changes can take place on any DC. It may possible that same change take place on multiple DC at same time and this can cause

What is Active Directory

Active Directory (AD)   is a  directory  service that Microsoft developed for Windows domain networks. It is included in most Windows Server operating systems as a set of processes and services. Active Directory is a database that keeps track of all the user accounts and passwords in your organization. It allows you to store your user accounts and passwords in one protected location, improving your organization's security. Active Directory is subdivided into one or more domains By simple meaning,  Active Directory   is a centralize repository of  O bjects . Everything like User, Group, Service, Resources etc, is an object for Active Directory.  Active Directory  is simply a collection of all these resources. When we put all these object together under a logical grouping or boundary including network resources to construct  Active Directory  is know as  Domain . A single/ multiple  Domains  in contiguous namespace together construct a  Tree   and  single/ multiple  Trees  with a t
