Transcript text: In a Windows domain, where is the centralized database kept?
domain controller
DNS server
DHCP server
client/server network
Solution
The answer is the first one: domain controller.
Explanation for each option:
Domain Controller: This is the correct answer. In a Windows domain, the centralized database, which includes user accounts, computer accounts, and security information, is stored on the domain controller. The domain controller uses Active Directory to manage this information.
DNS Server: This is incorrect. A DNS server is responsible for translating domain names into IP addresses, not for storing the centralized database of a Windows domain.
DHCP Server: This is incorrect. A DHCP server is responsible for assigning IP addresses to devices on a network, not for maintaining the centralized database of a Windows domain.
Client/Server Network: This is incorrect. A client/server network is a type of network architecture, not a specific location where a centralized database is stored.
In summary, the centralized database in a Windows domain is kept on the domain controller.
