Overview of the Domain Name System (DNS).
In the early days of the Internet, hosts had a fixed IP address.
Reaching a host required to know its numeric IP address.
With the growing number of hosts this scheme became quickly awkward and difficult to use.
DNS was introduced to give hosts human readable names that would be translated into a numeric IP addresses on the fly when a requesting host tried to reach another host.
To facilitate a distributed administration of the domain names, a hierarchic scheme was introduced where responsibility to manage domain names is delegated to organizations which can further delegate management of sub-domains.
Due to its importance in the operation of the Internet, domain name servers are usually operated redundantly. The databases of both servers are periodically synchronized.

Yet, the persistent gap between stated intentions and actual fertility decisions, coupled with the prevalence of uncertain responses, has cast doubt on the overall utility of intentions and sparked controversies about their nature. In this study, we use survey data from a representative sample of Dutch women. With the help of open-ended questions (OEQs) on fertility and Natural Language Processing (NLP) methods, we are able to conduct an in-depth analysis of fertility narratives. Specifically, we annotate the (expert) perceived fertility intentions of respondents and compare them to their self-reported intentions from the survey. Through this analysis, we aim to reveal the disparities between self-reported intentions and the narratives. Furthermore, by applying neural topic modeling methods, we could uncover which topics and characteristics are more prevalent among respondents who exhibit a significant discrepancy between their stated intentions and their probable future behavior, as reflected in their narratives.
Difference in Differences - Does Strict Speed Limit Restrictions Reduce Road ...ThinkInnovation
Objective
To identify the impact of speed limit restrictions in different constituencies over the years with the help of DID technique to conclude whether having strict speed limit restrictions can help to reduce the increasing number of road accidents on weekends.
Context*
Generally, on weekends people tend to spend time with their family and friends and go for outings, parties, shopping, etc. which results in an increased number of vehicles and crowds on the roads.
Over the years a rapid increase in road casualties was observed on weekends by the Government.
In the year 2005, the Government wanted to identify the impact of road safety laws, especially the speed limit restrictions in different states with the help of government records for the past 10 years (1995-2004), the objective was to introduce/revive road safety laws accordingly for all the states to reduce the increasing number of road casualties on weekends
* The Speed limit restriction can be observed before 2000 year as well, but the strict speed limit restriction rule was implemented from 2000 year to understand the impact
Strategies
Observe the Difference in Differences between ‘year’ >= 2000 & ‘year’ <2000
Observe the outcome from multiple linear regression by considering all the independent variables & the interaction term

6. • Scalable, secure, and manageable infrastructure for user and
resource management
– stores and manages information about network resources
– provides support for directory-enabled applications such as
Microsoft® Exchange Server
– allows for centralized management
– AD DS provides built in replication and redundancy: if one Domain
Controller (DC) fails, another DC picks up the load
– All access to network resources goes through AD DS, which keeps
network access rights management centralized
– Easily Integrated with Network Devices (ex: Radius, etc)

Lesson 1: Overview of AD DS
8. Protocol
• Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
– X.500 Standard
– Based on TCP/IP
– A method for accessing, searching, and modifying a
directory service
– A client-server model
9. What is Authentication?
Authentication includes two components:
Authentication is the process of verifying a user’s identity on a network
• Network authentication: grants
access to network resources
• Interactive logon: grants access to
the local computer
10. What is Authorization?
Security principals are issued
security identifiers (SIDs) when the
account is created
User accounts are issued security
tokens during authentication that
include the user’s SID and all
related group SIDs
Shared resources on a network
include access control lists (ACL)
that define who can access the
resource
Authorization is a process of verifying that an authenticated user has permission to
perform an action
The security token is compared
against the Discretionary Access
Control List (DACL) on the
resource and access is granted or
denied
11. Why Deploy AD DS?
AD DS features include:
• Centralized directory
• Single sign-on access
• Integrated security
• Scalability
AD DS provides a centralized system for managing users, computers, and other
resources on a network
• Common management interface
12. Centralized Network Management
AD DS centralizes network management by
providing:
• Single location and set of tools for managing user and group accounts
• Single location for assigning access to shared network resources
• Directory service for AD DS enabled applications
• Options for configuring security policies that apply to all users and computers
• Group policies to manage user desktops and security settings
13. Object Description
TCP/IP • Configure appropriate TCP/IP and DNS server addresses.
Credentials
• To install a new AD DS forest, you need to be local
Administrator on the server. To install an additional domain
controller in an existing domain, you need to be a member of
the Domain Admins group.
Domain Name
System )DNS)
Infrastructure
• Verify that a DNS infrastructure is in place. When you install AD
DS, you can include DNS server installation, if it is needed.
• When you create a new domain, a DNS delegation is created
automatically during the installation process. Creating a DNS
delegation requires credentials that have permissions to update
the parent DNS zones.
Requirements for Installing AD DS
14. Overview of AD DS and DNS
AD DS domain controller records
must be registered in DNS to
enable other domain controllers
and client computers to locate
the domain controllers
AD DS domain names must be

• Domain controllers
• Global catalog server
• Read-Only Domain Controller
(RODC)
• Partitions
• Schema
• Domains
• Domain trees
• Forests
• Sites
• Organizational units (OUs)
AD DS is composed of both physical and logical components
Component Overview
16. Lesson 2: Overview of AD DS Physical Components
• Domain Controllers
• Global Catalog Servers
• Data Store
• Replication
• Sites
17. Domain Controllers
Domain controllers:
• Host a copy of the AD DS directory store
• Provide authentication and authorization services
• Replicate updates to other domain controllers in the domain and forest
A domain controller is a server with the AD DS server role installed that has
specifically been promoted to a domain controller
• Allow administrative access to manage user accounts and network resources
Windows Server 2008 and later supports RODCs
18. Global Catalog Servers
The global catalog:
• Contains a copy of all AD DS objects in a forest that includes only some of the
attributes for each object in the forest
• Improves efficiency of object searches by avoiding unnecessary referrals to
domain controllers
• Required for users to log on to a domain
Global catalog servers are domain controllers that also store a copy of the global
catalog
19. What is the AD DS Data Store?
The AD DS data store:
• Consists of the Ntds.dit file
• Is stored by default in the %SystemRoot%NTDS folder on all domain
controllers
• Is accessible only through the domain controller processes and protocols
The AD DS data store contains the database files and processes that store and
manage directory information for users, services, and applications
20. What is AD DS Replication?
AD DS replication:
• Ensures that all domain controllers have the same information
• Uses a multimaster replication model
• Can be managed by creating AD DS sites
AD DS replication copies all updates of the AD DS database to all other domain
controllers in a domain or forest
The AD DS replication topology is created automatically as new domain controllers
are added to the domain
21. What are Sites?
Sites are:
• Associated with IP subnets
• Used to manage replication traffic
• Used to manage client logon traffic
An AD DS site is used to represent a network segment where all domain controllers
are connected by a fast and reliable network connection
• Used by site aware applications such as Distributed File Systems (DFS) or
Exchange Server
• Used to assign group policy objects to all users and computers in a company
location
22. Lesson 3: Overview of AD DS Logical Components
• AD DS Schema
• The Basics
• Trusts
• AD DS Objects
23. The AD DS Schema:
• Defines every type of object that can be stored in the directory
• Enforces rules regarding object creation and configuration
Object Types Function Examples
Class Object
What objects can be created in the
directory
• User
• Computer
Attribute Object
Information that can be attached to an
object
• Display name
What is the AD DS Schema?
24. The Basics: Domains
Domains:
• An administrative boundary for applying policies to groups of objects
• A replication boundary for replicating data between domain controllers
• An authentication and authorization boundary that provides a way to limit the
scope of access to resources
Contoso.com
Domains are used to group and manage objects in an
organization
25. The Basics: Trees
All domains in the tree:
• Share a contiguous namespace with the parent domain
• Can have additional child domains
• By default create a two-way transitive trust with other domains
A domain tree is a hierarchy of domains in AD DS
contoso.com
na.contoso.com
emea.contoso.com
26. The Basics: Forests
Forests:
• Share a common schema
• Share a common configuration partition
• Share a common global catalog to enable searching
A forest is a collection of
one or more domain trees
• Enable trusts between all domains in the forest
• Share the Enterprise Admins and Schema Admins groups
27. The Basics: Organizational Units (OUs)
OUs are used to:
• Represent your organization hierarchically and logically
• Manage a collection of objects in a consistent way
• Delegate permissions to administer groups of objects
OUs are Active Directory containers that can contain users, groups, computers, and
other OUs
• Apply policies
29. Trusts provide a mechanism for users to gain access to resources in another domain
Types of Trusts Description Diagram
Directional
The trust direction flows from
trusting domain to the trusted
domain
Transitive
The trust relationship is extended
beyond a two-domain trust to
include other trusted domains
• All domains in a forest trust all other domains in the forest
• Trusts can extend outside the forest
