Active Directory
Active Directory domain controller in a forest is granted five FSMO roles when you run the Dcpromo.exe program and install Active Directory.
There are two FSMO roles that are forest-wide and three that are per domain. If child domains are created, the two forest-wide roles do not change. A forest with two domains would have eight FSMOs; two for the forest and three domain specific FSMO roles in each domain.
The five FSMO roles are:
‧ Schema master - Forest-wide and one per forest.
‧ Domain naming master - Forest-wide and one per forest.
‧ RID master - Domain-specific and one for each domain.
‧ PDC - PDC Emulator is domain-specific and one for each domain.
‧ Infrastructure master - Domain-specific and one for each domain.
DRA (directory replication agent)
NT File Replication Service (NTFRS)
The Lsass.exe process is responsible for management of local security authority domain authentication and Active Directory management. This process handles authentication for both the client and the server, and it also governs the Active Directory engine. The Lsass.exe process is responsible for the following components:
‧ Local Security Authority
‧ Net Logon service
‧ Security Accounts Manager service
‧ LSA Server service
‧ Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
‧ Kerberos v5 authentication protocol
‧ NTLM authentication protocol

How to be more Productive at work
Below are the tips - how to be more Productive at work
1. Get organised. The time you spend hunting for the right file or client contact information could be used for crossing off items on your to-do list. So invest a few hours up front to get organised, and make it a point to stay that way – it will reduce hassle and time wasted.
2. Delegate and share work wisely. Both managers and employees should focus on tasks that use their strengths. If you’re not an Excel? whiz, ask a more spreadsheet-savvy colleague to take on the task in exchange for one you’re more suited to. Utilising the right skills appropriately saves everyone time.
3. Give yourself strict deadlines. Set a timer for 60 or 90 minutes, and set about finishing a small project without interruptions. During this time you’ll only be focusing on the task at hand, not multi-tasking (answering the phone or responding to e-mail, etc.) You may be surprised at how much you can get done in a short period of time.
4. Manage your energy as well as your time. Don’t spread projects out over a few days – if possible, finish them in one sitting rather than in bits and pieces. This keeps your energies focused and saves time, and can improve the consistency of the finished product, too.
5. Come in early. Coming in to the office an hour before everyone else means you can get a jump- start on your day and work without distractions until the rest of your colleagues arrive and business begins as usual. A bonus: you might even miss the morning rush hour traffic!
6. Target your productivity “window”. Observe your working patterns for a day, and figure out when you seem to be most productive. Then, use that as your “optimal working time” and tackle the most difficult or challenging tasks during that time period each day.
7. Automate and outsource. If you own or manage a small business, remember that doing everything yourself isn’t always the most time- or cost-efficient option. Almost any task can be either automated or outsourced – from mailing to marketing to payroll processing – so investigate your options.
8. Know when to say no. Don’t overreach yourself; while many of us try to make everyone happy all the time, it's just not always possible. Don’t get into the habit of accepting last-minute requests if you can help it, and respect your own limitations.
9. Obey the 80/20 rule. The 80/20 rule states that 80 percent of your results come from just 20 percent of your efforts. If you can identify and focus on the 20 percent that matters most, you can be more productive without increasing your workload.
10. Beware of perfectionism. Does that weekly internal report that’s only read by two people really need to have detailed colour graphics and perfectly spaced margins? Most routine work doesn't need to be done perfectly, so just ask yourself if your effort is proportionate to the value of the task. Once you start putting these strategies into practice, hopefully you’ll be leaving the office earlier today and every day.
