� 64 bit Editions of Windows Evaluation Guide Active Directory Users and Computers Snap-in: Saved Queries A query is a search against a data set (the directory) for items that match particular criteria (such as directory object attribute values). This feature allows queries to be saved, reopened, refreshed and e-mailed. Query objects and results can be viewed and manipulated in the User Interface. This feature allows an administrator to perform the following tasks: - Export the results of an attribute query for reporting or analysis. They can refresh the query on a periodic basis and save time in completing management reports. - Select a set of users based upon their attribute properties and add them en masse to a group. - Query the directory to find a particular set of user objects, then edit the properties on all objects at once (as described in the feature “Active Directory: Editing of Multiple User Objects”). Examples of queries an IT administrator can conduct: - Identify all disabled accounts - Identify all accounts that expire on a specific date - Identify all user accounts with non-expiring passwords - Identify RAS-enabled system accounts - Find user accounts with passwords older than a specific number of days - Find accounts with RAS callback enabled - Find all accounts without managers Active Directory in Action Active Directory installed on Intel Itanium-based servers in a 32 bit environment supports the following functionality: � Windows Advanced Server, Limited Edition on Itanium- based servers supports Active Directory services to end-users. � 32 bit and 64 bit Active Directory components are interoperable. � Active Directory’s security is flexible enough to support users in an isolated forest, while maintaining users’ access to all production network resources. � Internally developed 32 bit tools are portable to run as native 64 bit tools. 64 bit Active Directory Windows Advanced Server, Limited Edition supports Active Directory services to end-users: � All users are able to reliably use the 64 bit domain controller for all of their Active Directory security services, even with prototype servers and pre-beta versions of Microsoft’s Windows Advanced Server, Limited Edition operating system. � Users are able to log onto the corporate network and access production resources such as e-mail, enterprise applications, and shared file and print services. Interoperability with 32 bit systems 32 bit and 64 bit Active Directory components are interoperable. 4-4 64 bit Editions of Windows and Active Directory �
64 bit Editions of Windows and Active Directory � - Active Directory content is successfully replicated among domain controllers in the 64 bit domain, including both Itanium-based servers and a 32 bit Pentium III-based server. - Users are able to use Active Directory services transparently and easily from their 32 bit Windows 2000 clients, regardless of the platform architecture that provided the service. - Security credentials can be migrated from the production 32 bit Active Directory to an Itanium- based processor domain controller. It is not necessary to change the security access control lists on any of the migrated users’ files, shares, or applications. Flexibility of Active Directory Security The flexibility of security in Active Directory permits the execution of a 64 bit domain in an isolated forest while maintaining each user’s access to all resources on the production network. - From their user accounts and client machines in the 64 bit domain, participants have complete and unrestricted access to all of their resources in the downlevel Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 domain infrastructures. - There are no problems with Trust relationships, SID migration, security access control lists, or sharing resources. 32 bit Tools Ported to 64 bit If a company has internally developed migration tools to work with their 32 bit Windows 2000 infrastructure and requires that they work with Windows Advanced Server, Limited Edition, the internally developed user migration tool can be quickly and easily ported to the Itanium processor architecture.
