I would suggest you go to the portal link first and you'll find a wealth of papers linked from there. neil -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rachui, Scott Sent: 03 August 2005 00:34 To: [email protected] Subject: [ActiveDir] End-to-End AD Authentication Are there some white papers or some other resources that you guys would recommend to give me an in-depth analysis of the Active Directory authentication process end-to-end? Specifically, I want to understand how things like DNS/WINS, Kerberos, NTLM, etc. play a role. Ultimately, I'm looking for a complete picture of authentication for both users and groups, including everything from how/when GPOs are processed during authentication to Kerberos/NTLM authentication to how DNS and WINS play a role. I'll say up front that I don't necessarily expect this to be in a single document. But if anyone has some good articles or books to refer me to that will give me a start, I'd appreciate it.
