What is Group Policy?

Group Policy manages permissions and settings in bulk for computers and signed-in users. Collections of settings, called Group Policy Objects (GPOs), change specific computer or user behaviours. Linking GPOs to organisational units (OUs) in AD applies them only to selected computers or users. Changing one GPO can therefore manage potentially thousands of computers or users.

AD DS sites and their connections (Sites and Site Links)

AD sites and site links define the physical network structure, allowing replication to reflect connection speeds where DCs are located. Sites and subnets also let workstations determine their current location and nearest DC. For example, a computer moved from New York to Czech Republic can detect from its assigned IP address that it is in a different subnet, belonging to another site with different DCs.

AD DS replication

The AD database consists of partitions that can replicate independently. Specifically, Schema, and Configurationalways replicate forest-wide, Domainreplicates within its domain, and Applicationreplicates according to predefined rules. Also remember the Global Catalog (GC), which replicates throughout the forest, but only between other GCs.

What is a UPN (User Principal Name)?

UPN (user principal name) is a logon method used in Windows networks since version 2003. A UPN has two parts: a suffix and a prefix. Take suzan@WoodgroveBank.local as an example.

  • UPN prefix is suzan
  • UPN suffix is WoodgroveBank.local

By default, the suffix is the name of the domain where the user was created. Additional suffixes can be added so users can sign in with another name (such as their email address), but the suffix must be unique throughout the forest.
