Hi Ketan,

Subject questions:

Types of Backup ? Explain. 2- which backup tool you are using.?

how to know fsmo roles installed on which server ?

Diff b/w Server2008 and server 2012

What is DHCP and how it works

How to reserve IP address

DNS Zone (Reverse and forward lookup zone.

how fsmo roles works ? what is the role of PDC emulator ?

what is Active directory.

Active Directory (AD) is a directory service that Microsoft developed for the
Windows domain networks. It is included in most Windows Server operating
systems as a set of processes and services. Initially, Active Directory was only
in charge of centralized domain management
How many types of AD, what are they, their roles ?

Active Directory knows seven FSMO roles with different scopes

PDC Emulator (One per domain)

RID Master (One per domain)
Schema Master (One per forest)
Domain Naming Master (One per forest)
Infrastructure Master (One per domain)
Domain DNS Zone Master role (one per domain)
Forest DNS Zone Master role (one per forest)

What is DNS?

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical decentralized naming

system for computers, services, or other resources connected to the Internet
or a private network. It associates various information with domain names
assigned to each of the participating entities. Most prominently, it translates
more readily memorized domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed
for locating and identifying computer services and devices with the underlying
network protocols. By providing a worldwide, distributed directory service, the
Domain Name System is an essential component of the functionality on the
Internet, that has been in use since 1985.
What is DHCP?

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network management

protocol used on UDP/IP networks whereby a DHCP server dynamically
assigns an IP address and other network configuration parameters to each
device on a network so they can communicate with other IP networks.[1] A
DHCP server enables computers to request IP addresses and networking
parameters automatically from the Internet service provider (ISP), reducing the
need for a network administrator or a user to manually assign IP addresses to
all network devices.[

how to change ip address to dhcp

Using WININSTLE you need to find out the registry keys for DHCP Client
machine when they obtain IP Address automatically from DHCP Server.
Using PSEXEC (if your network is in Workgroup Security Model) or Group
Policy (If you are in Domain Security Model) to deploy DHCP Client settings
remotely with a text file pre-configured which can be used to differentiate
between IP addresses used by client machines.
You need to install and run WinInstLE on one of your client computer.
Go to a client machine.
Install WININSTLE. This utility is located at Windows 2000 CD.
Run WININSTLE. Perform *Before Snapshot* operation.
Give a path to save MSI file and registry informations.
Restart client computer.
Configure client machine to obtain IP address automatically from DHCP
Server.
After restarting client computer, run *After Snapshot*. This will record any
changes made during the operation DHCP Client contacted and received IP
Address information from DHCP Server.
Edit the *.REG file and delete the IP Address DHCP Client received from DHCP
Server. This will make sure that all the client computers use unique IP Address
on network. Save this file.
Now you have two files to deploy either using PSEXEC or Group Policy.
MSI file
REG file
You can deploy MSI file (that is the configuration of DHCP Client) using Group
Policy Software Installation snap-in. OR
You can deploy MSI file or REG file using PSEXEC remotely on all client
computers.
By using PSEXEC you can specify a text file which keeps information about the
IP Address and Client computer name

how you can backup Windows Server 2012 DHCP server database:

Log on to the Windows Server 2012 DHCP server with the appropriate account
credentials.
If not already started, initialize the Server Manager window from the bottom
left corner of the screen.
On the opened Server Manager window, from the left pane, click to select the
DHCP category.
From the right pane, under the SERVERS section, right-click the DHCP server
from the displayed list
replication in windows server ?

You can use Storage Replica to configure two servers to sync data so that each
has an identical copy of the same volume. This topic provides some
background of this server-to-server replication configuration, as well as how
to set it up and manage the environment.
To manage Storage Replica you can use Windows Admin Center or
PowerShell.

How do refer time server on the domain server

I'm assuming that you're looking for the server used by the W32Time service
to perform time sync on domain-member computers.
In a stock Active Directory deployment the only computer configured with a
time server explicitly will be computer holding the PDC Emulator FSMO role in
the forest root domain. All domain controllers in the forest root domain
synchronize time with the PDC Emulator FSMO role-holder. All PDC Emulator
FSMO role-holders in child domains synchronize their time with domain
controllers in their parent domain (including, potentially, the PDF Emulator
FSMO role-holder in the forest root domain). All domain member computers
synchronize time with domain controller computers in their respective
domains

what is DRS

DRS (Distributed Resource Scheduler) is a utility that balances computing

workloads with available resources in a virtualized environment. VMware DRS
... VMware DRS redistributes the virtual machines among the physical servers.
If the overall workload decreases, some of the physical servers can be
temporarily powered-down and the workload consolidated.
