Why
do we prepare the active directory and what does
happen during this process? |
What are the steps to prepare
the active directory? : Active Directory
preparation involves schema preparation, forest
preparation and domain preparation.
What does happen during Active Directory preparation?:
During the Schema Prep extends the schema in
Active Directory to include classes and attributes
specific to Office Communications Server 2007.
The
Prep Forest
step
creates Office
Communications Server objects in the forest root domain
Systems container if the default option is selected or
in the configuration container if you choose. These
objects contain global settings and information about
your Office Communications Server deployment. Prep Forest
also creates Office Communications Server objects in the
configuration container that contain property sets and
display specifiers used by Office Communications Server.
The Prep
Domain
step adds the necessary ACEs to universal groups that
grant permissions to
host and manage users within the domain.
Prep
Domain is required in all domains where
you want to deploy Office Communications Servers and any
domains where your Office Communications Server users
will reside. The task is run once in each domain.Prep
Domain create ACEs on the domain root and three built-in
containers: Users, Computers, and Domain Controllers.
The following tables list these ACEs. All ACEs are
inherited, unless noted otherwise.
