Hi

I have some queries in Active Directory. kidnly clarify my doubts.

1. What is the necessity of Child Domain Controller other than ADC? Why do we need to go for Child Domain Concept with out ADC? What is the main purpose of going for Child Domain. Please Give clear Description.

2. Can i create the user with the same name in Parent Domain and Child Domain? Any conflicts can be happend? Is it recommended to create the same user in a single tree.

3. Child Domain user can logon from the parent domain ? or Parent Domain user can login from the Child Domain.

4. How RID service will work? If RID service is down Main DC can i create a user in ADC or in DC.. (ADC is also read write copy of ADDS right..)..Is it possible or not.. If its not whyy.. While creating any object in ADC it will contact to DC before creating..(That means replication takes at that time immediately while creating any object in any dc in a domain)

5. Global catalog is enabled in one DC in a domain. I have another ADC also in that domain. If my Global Catalog server is down i made my ADC as a Global Catalog server.. My question is from where that ADC gets the data of Global Catalog..(When we enabled Global Catalog in that server automatically it creates the data or it has to get from other Domain Controllers in that domain). What is exact use of GC.

6. Difference between Authoratative Restore and Non Authoratative Restore.. When we will go for those restore methods?

7. What is the exact background process takes palce when a user logging into the domain?

Eagerly waiting for the answers for my above questions. Thanks in Advance.
