Active Directory Domain Services

Before creating a user folder, the administrator of the server should first install the Active
Directory Domain Services (ADDS) and create a user account.

To install the ADDS, the administrator should open command prompt (Ctrl + R then cmd), and
type dcpromo to install ADDS, DNS, and create a forest and domain.

A server that runs ADDS is a domain controller.

The domain controller basically:
Validates and gives access to all users and computers in a Windows domain type network;
Appoints and creates security protocols for all computers; and
Installs and adds software.

Features of ADDS

These are the features of having the Active Directory Domain Services:
1. Security - The data is stored securely. Each of the objects in the Active Directory has an ACL
or Access Control List which consists of the resources that one may access and along with
access privileges given to each resource.
2. Query Capabilities - The ADDS creates a global catalog to give a mechanism to handle queries.
A client which has ADDS can query the catalog to request directory data.
3. Replication - To replicate a directory to all domain controllers means easy access, high
availability, and improved fault tolerance.
4. Extensibility - Having ADDS is extensible. Meaning that new object types can be added to a
directory. An attribute can be added, for example to the user object.

Once a user is created, a user folder is also automatically created upon the log-in of the user to
the client computer.

Creating a User Folder

You can carefully follow the steps below if you have two computer units (one installed with
Windows Server OS and a Windows 7/8/10 ) connected through a network cable.

11. Set the Default gateway. This address is typically your router’s IP address (for example,
10.1.2.1).
12. Under the “Use the following DNS server addresses set Preferred DNS server” section, set
the Preferred DNS server address, which is usually your router’s IP address or IP address
of the server providing DNS resolutions (for example, 10.1.2.1).
13. (Optional) Set the Alternative DNS server, which your computer will use if it cannot reach
the preferred server.
