03 Windows Server 2019 - Konsep Domain, Trees & Forest

Summary

In this tutorial on Windows Server 2019 administration, Mirza Ratria introduces the basic concepts of domains, trees, and forests within Microsoft networks. He explains how a domain, such as 'suka-suka.com,' represents a unique identity for an organization and how subdomains are created for different departments. The video also covers the concept of trees, illustrating how multiple domains can connect within a forest, and how trust relationships allow separate entities to share resources. Lastly, the tutorial highlights the process of merging domains from different companies into one unified forest, enhancing collaboration across networks.

Takeaways

• 😀 A domain in a Microsoft network represents an identity for an organization and contains various network objects such as users, computers, and groups.
• 😀 Domains can have subdomains, which are used to organize different divisions or sections within an organization, such as `sales.suka-suka.com`.
• 😀 The concept of a 'tree' in Microsoft networks refers to a hierarchy of domains, with a root domain at the top and subdomains branching out.
• 😀 A 'forest' is the highest level in a Microsoft network structure and can contain multiple trees, providing a shared global catalog for all domains within it.
• 😀 Trust relationships are key in connecting different domains within a forest, allowing them to share resources and information securely.
• 😀 In Microsoft environments, domains, trees, and forests are fundamental to organizing network resources and ensuring smooth communication between objects.
• 😀 A global catalog is used to store information about all objects in a forest, making it easier for domains to share data and resources.
• 😀 Larger organizations or networks may have multiple trees within a single forest, especially when different divisions or companies merge.
• 😀 Merging companies can join their separate domains into one forest by establishing trust relationships, allowing seamless sharing of resources.
• 😀 The tutorial explains the difference between internet domains (e.g., `facebook.com`) and Microsoft domains, emphasizing that the latter contains network objects and organizational units.
• 😀 The tutorial helps in understanding the essential components of a Windows Server 2019 network setup, including domains, trees, and forests, as well as how they interact.

Q & A

What is a domain in the context of a Microsoft network?

In a Microsoft network, a domain is a collection of objects, such as users, computers, servers, groups, and printers, that are managed together under a single administrative identity. It helps to organize and control network resources.

What is the difference between a domain on the internet and a domain in a Microsoft network?

An internet domain (like yahoo.com) is an identifier for websites or online entities. In contrast, a domain in a Microsoft network refers to an organizational unit that contains network resources like users, computers, and servers, grouped together for administrative purposes.

What are subdomains, and how are they related to the main domain?

Subdomains are extensions of a primary domain, often representing specific divisions or services within an organization. For example, 'sales.suka-suka.com' is a subdomain under the primary domain 'suka-suka.com'.

Can a company have multiple subdomains, and why might they need them?

Yes, a company can have multiple subdomains to organize its divisions, services, or regions. For instance, a company might use 'sales.company.com' for the sales department and 'support.company.com' for customer support.

What is a Tree in the Microsoft network context?

A Tree in a Microsoft network refers to a collection of domains that share a common namespace, where a main domain (top-level domain) can have several subdomains. The Tree reflects the hierarchical structure of domains and subdomains within the network.

How does a Tree in Microsoft Network represent an organization?

A Tree represents an organization by grouping domains and subdomains together. For example, 'suka-suka.com' might be the main domain, and subdomains like 'sales.suka-suka.com' or 'finance.suka-suka.com' represent different divisions or departments of the company.

What is a Forest in Microsoft Network terminology?

A Forest is a collection of one or more Trees in a Microsoft network. It contains all the domains within it, including their subdomains, and shares a global catalog for resource and information management across all domains in the Forest.

How do domains within a Forest interact with each other?

Domains within a Forest interact through a trust relationship. This allows them to share resources and information while maintaining separate domain identities. The trust relationship ensures that resources can be accessed across domains within the Forest.

What happens when two companies with different domains decide to merge?

When two companies with different domains merge, they establish a trust relationship between their domains. This allows them to share resources and information. The two domains will then become part of a single Forest, despite maintaining separate domain names.

What is the role of a global catalog in a Forest?

The global catalog in a Forest holds information about all the objects in all domains within the Forest. It helps in resource sharing and ensuring that all objects, like users and computers, are accessible across the domains within the Forest.
