MCSE Exam 70-294 Prep: Operations Masters and Global Catalog Servers
Overview Although it's true to say that all Domain Controllers (DCs) act as peers on a Windows Server 2003 network when Active Directory (AD) replication is used, at times the peer model does not achieve the desired result. Some functions on a network are best suited to being controlled by a single DC. These functions include implementing security measures, ensuring compatibility with down-level (Windows 2000 and Windows NT 4) servers, and ensuring that the Security IDentifiers (SIDs) of the clients created in a domain are unique. To this end, Microsoft has implemented operations masters. This paper defines the Windows Server 2003 operations masters and what they do, and details what actions a person should take if an operations master fails or becomes unavailable.
