auditing
The server records processes, such as net logon (Netlogon), and utilization of
resources in an audit list. An entry in this list consists of the username, the type of
resource as well as the date and time when the resource was used.
autodisconnect
The server interrupts a session if it determines no activity for this session within
a specified period of time. If the relevant client wishes to access a shared
resource
again at a later stage then the session is implicitly reactivated when a resource
is requested. A new “logon” or “net use” is not required.
backup domain controller
A
server in a domain which manages a copy of the user account database and uses
it to verify logon attempts. See also
Netlogon and primary domain controller.
browser
Displays all resources of all servers throughout the network, including servers in
other domains.
client
A client is a computer which uses the services
and shared resources of another
computer, the server, over a local network. A client cannot generally provide
services to other computers.
computername
Name of a computer within a local network. Each computername is unique within
a network.
connection
A connection is set up if a client can access a shared resource of a server. A client
can have several connections to a server. This is provided when a session
is
opened between a client and a server.
distributed application
Processes on the server system exchange data with processes on clients over
the local network
. The resources of interprocess communication IPC$ are used to
exchange this data.
domain
A combination of servers and clients, which are joined in one administrative unit.
See also Netlogon security.
domain controller
See primary domain controller
and backup domain controller.
