Q1. Describe the basics of Active Directory including domain, tree, and forest. What domain
model would you recommend to an organization?
Ans: Domain is known to be core unit which is seen the logical structure of Active Directory.
Different type of objects aims to share common directory of database which is needed for
building trust relationship with other kind of domain and security policies. Tree is defined as
collection of one or more domains which will help in sharing of global resources (Stiawan et al.,
2016). At the time of adding domain to a tree then it becomes a child of tree root domain. Forest
is known to be collection of various trees which share a common kind of catalog that is directory
schema, directory configuration and lastly logical structure. There are large number of factors
behind the selection of design model like
 Understand the overall capacity of the network which helps in allocating to active
directory based domain service (Sequeira, 2017). The main focus is to provide a proper
kind of replication of information that comes up with minimum effect on the overall
network bandwidth.
 The second factor is number of users in the organization. If the organization has large
number of users, the deployment of more than one domain will result in partition of data
(Vernotte et al., 2017). This ultimately results in gaining an essay control over the
replication traffic which can pass through the network connection.
There are only two kind of model available and based on the requirement the proper can be
chosen that is
 Single Model domain
 Regional Model domain.
