DNS registration changes for Windows Server 2003 based DHCP Servers

When the DHCP Server role is installed on a domain controller, the DHCP Server inherits the security permissions of the domain controller. To prevent possible misuse of the domain controller’s elevated permissions, DHCP Servers that are installed on Windows Server 2003 do not register DNS records on behalf of the clients that are associated with the DHCP Server unless the DHCP Server is explicitly configured with DNS credentials. This behavior prevents a potential escalation of privilege to clients of the DHCP Server.

Configuring DNS credentials on a DHCP Server that is running Windows Server 2003

Follow these steps to configure the DNS credentials of a DHCP Server that is installed on a domain controller running the Windows Server 2003 operating system:
  1. Start the DHCP management console. Click Start, then click Run and type dhcpmgmt.msc.
  2. In the DHCP navigation pane, expand the server node and right-click IPv4, and then click Properties.
  3. In the resulting dialog box, click the Advanced tab, and then click Credentials.
  4. In the DNS dynamic update credentials dialog box, enter the DNS credentials (User name, Domain, and Password) for the account that is used by the DHCP Server for DNS registrations.

Linux File and Directory Permissions

file & directory protection is a essential of any OS and Linux OS is no exception for it! These authorizations allow you to choose exactly who can access your files & directory, providing an overall improved system security. There was one of the major flaws in the older Windows operating-system where, by standard, all users can see each other people's information (Windows 95, 98, Me). For overcoming it, editions of the Windows based computer system such as NT, 2000, XP and 2003 lot more security features added. They fully support file & directory permissions, just as Linux system has since the beginning. Together, we'll now assess a directory listing from our Lab Linux system hosting server, to help us understand the information provided. a simple 'ls' command will give you the file and directory listing within a given directory, including the option  '-l' will display number of new areas that we are going to discuss here:
