right we know the Active directory namespace and DNS namespace overlap right?

Now im trying to understand the terms sub domain and child domain... if i have it correct - a child domain is a "branch" of subdomain?

accounts.contoso.local - being the sub-domain
income.accounts.contoso.local - being the child domain

is it just terminalogy?

 

sparks could you try explain that in a different way please mate?

 

...except www isn't a domain or subdomain - it's a computer in the domain. Anything to the right of that computer name are subdomains, the domain, and the top-level domain (.com, .net, etc.)

 

Mike could you have a go please?

 

As I see it it's a bit like UNC but backwards.

i.e. \\sillyserv\share works forwards, like the way a sentence is written (in the western way anyhow).

The domain starts with a . which is the root, but because all domains (I hope, shoot me guys) start with it we leave it out.

So, we have .com.micro$oft.www

So it's 'backwards'.

If we didn't do it that way we'd be in all sorts of sh*t to differentiate between LANS and WANS.

Wotja fink y'all, am I anywhere near?

J.

 

Yes, it is. WWW defaults to the default Web server for the domain. Mail.contoso.com indicates the server named mail on the contoso.com domain. Webmail indicates the server named webmail on the contoso.com domain. Same with crm.contoso.com. Those aren't subdomains. Those are server names or aliases for servers.

Yes, you can have subdomains. For instance, you could have mail.east.contoso.com. Mail would be the server name on the east.contoso.com domain, and east is a subdomain (or child domain) of contoso.com.

 

Yep, it's just terminology. I've heard subdomain and child domain used interchangeably.

 

Unless you are in *nix, where the
unc would display filesystem/whatever/whatever

 

so they are the same thing?

 

From what I've studied, yes. Someone else might have a different opinion.

But does it matter what they call them? Don't get overly bogged down in the terminology. You understand the concept, right?

EDIT: From Webopedia:

 

so far so good mike! Thanks for clearing it up....

pretty chuffed with todays covering!

 

Glad to be of assistance, my friend.

 

UPDATE:

No date set as yet.. but im hoping to make it happen end of January... still sweating it out here... Been getting help from all sorts of people.. just thought i would make a forum wide appeal! How do you study and pass a monster like this??? Also anything specific you want to add about 291 that might help.. all with in legal grounds of course!

 

Just keep doing what your doing but whilst you are doing that, remember this is one of the most interesting studying times you are going to be faced with. Sure, there is a lot of new stuff to jam into your noggin but that stuff is gold, so just enjoy the ride and be done with it. Book the exam once you feel nearly ready, that will give your the motivation to really get stuck in, so that you can slay the beast.

 

Sparks its one thing reading and another 100% understanding info.. im spending time reading Server 2003 inside out as well.. the problem with this exam is that there have been too many new concepts.. in particular the last chapters on security policies... but like you guys said im going to have to take this exam soon.. if i fail ill have to get back onto the bull and try again!
