The fully qualified name of
an object in a hierarchical system. Distinguished names are
used for all Active Directory objects and in the Domain Name System
(DNS). No two objects in these systems should have the same
distinguished name.
In relation to a Microsoft
network, a logical collection of resources consisting of
computers, printers, computer accounts, user accounts, and other
related objects. The domain also has a system of logon
authentication of user accounts, and computer accounts.
A domain component is used
in distinguished names (DNs) to indicate an identifier for a
part of an object's network domain. For example,
/O=Internet/DC=COM/DC=Fabrikam/CN=Users/CN=Jeff Smith contains the
domain components COM and Fabrikam.
A server that authenticates
domain logon passwords and maintains security policy and the
security accounts master database for a domain.
A domain local group can be
used on access-control lists (ACLs) only in its own domain. A
domain local group can contain users and global groups from any
domain in the forest, universal groups, and other domain local
groups in its own domain.
The domain controller that
has the domain naming master role is the only domain controller
that can add new domains to the forest, remove existing domains
from the forest, and add or remove cross-reference objects to
external directories.
