Name Resolution in Active Directory

  • Artikel

Finding information in Active Directory ™ , the Microsoft® Windows® 2000 directory service involves first locating an Active Directory server (domain controller) for logging on to a domain and then finding the information that you need in Active Directory. Both processes use name resolution. When you are locating a domain controller, the Domain Name System (DNS) resolves (by DNS name resolution) a domain name or computer name to an Internet Protocol (IP) address. During the search for information in Active Directory, Windows 2000 resolves (by Lightweight Directory Access Protocol [LDAP] name resolution) a distinguished name to a domain controller that holds the entry for that name.
