What are PSO's?
Password Settings Objects
How are PSO's applied?
by linking them to global security groups or users
How many PSO's can help determine password settings for a group or user?
only one
What is a resultant PSO?
the PSO that takes effect on a group or user
What happens if a PSO is linked to a group, and another PSO is linked to a user in the group?
the PSO linked directly to the user takes effect
If there are multiple PSO's applied to a group or user, what determines which one is the resultant PSO?
its precedence value
In regards to PSO's, what is a precedence value?
a number greater than 0, with 1 having the highest precedence
How does Active Directory choose between two PSO's with the same precedence?
it selects the PSO with the lowest GUID
Can PSO's be linked to OU's?
no
What can be done to link a PSO to the users in an OU?
create a shadow group for the OU and link the PSO to the shadow group
Where do account logon events occur?
on the domain controller that authenticates the logon attempt
Where do logon events occur?
on the server or workstation that a user attempts to log on to
What default GPO makes a good location for a policy to audit account logon attempts?

a domain controller that maintains a copy of all objects but not password secrets
What determines which user accounts a RODC is allowed to cache?
the Password Replication Policy (PRP)

it allows local support personnel to support an RODC without making them Domain Admins

adprep /rodcprep
What are the requirements for an RODC's writeable partner?
it must be running Server 2008
What determines which users' credentials may be cached by an RODC?
Password Replication Policy
What happens if a user attempts to authenticate to an RODC but is not on the approved list?
the credentials are passed to another DC

Allowed List and Denied List
What happens to a user who is on an RODC's Approved List and Denied List?
they are not cached by the RODC
What two groups are created to facilitate management of Password Replication Policy?
2 domain local groups: Allowed RODC Password Replication Group and Denied RODC Password Replication Group
Who is in the Allowed RODC Password Replication Group by default?
no one
Who is in the Denied RODC Password Replication Group by default?
security-sensitive accounts (admins, etc.)
Where can the Allowed List and Denied list for an individual RODC be configured?
in its Active Directory computer account
What feature supports local administration of RODC's?
administrative role separation
What command is used to configure administrative role separation?
dsmgmt.exe
Why is administrative role separation so useful for RODC's?
it grants administrative rights to a single RODC rather than all DC's
What tool is used to configure fine-grained password and lockout policies?
ASDI Edit
How can you prepare the environment for a non-administrative user to install an RODC at a branch office?
pre-stage the computer account and specify their user account as authorized to install
