Domain Admins

In the Ultra Transcenders books

AZ-802

Each book explains Domain Admins in context, with comparison tables and the common traps.

Terms in this definition

• Global group

  Holds members only from the domain it belongs to, yet can be granted access anywhere in that forest or in domains that trust it; one of the three AD group scopes.

• Deployment modes

  The two ways ARM can deploy: Incremental, the default, creates or updates what the template lists and ignores everything else; Complete also removes resource group contents absent from the template.

• CONTROL

  Granting this on a securable gives all other permissions on it too, making it the most powerful SQL permission. At database scope that includes UNMASK and ALTER ANY MASK. Warehouse access through the Admin, Member or Contributor workspace roles carries it.

• OVER

  Gives a T-SQL window function its window: PARTITION BY, ORDER BY and, if wanted, a ROWS or RANGE frame. Rankings and running totals can then be worked out while every row is kept.

• Domain

  A way of grouping workspaces by area of the business, in support of a data mesh approach. Items take on their workspace's domain, letting you filter the OneLake catalog by it, and certain tenant settings can be passed to domain admins; domains have no effect on access permissions.

• LSDOU

  The sequence in which Group Policy is processed: the local policy first, followed by site, domain and organisational unit policies. The nearest, last-processed setting takes effect unless Enforced or Block Inheritance alters that.

• ALL

  A DAX function that ignores any filters and gives back every row of a table or every value of the named columns. Used within CALCULATE, it works as a modifier that clears filters, although REMOVEFILTERS states that intent more clearly where it is available.

• AAD DC Administrators

  Grants members admin rights over joined VMs and control of Group Policy for AADDC containers in an Entra Domain Services managed domain. Enterprise Admins and Domain Admins rights don't exist there.

• AZUREADSSOACC

  Seamless SSO adds this computer account to each synchronised forest. Microsoft Entra ID holds a copy of its Kerberos decryption key, so restrict management to Domain Admins and roll the key over no less often than every 30 days.

• Denied RODC Password Replication Group

  Passwords of members are never cached by RODCs. Domain Admins and other privileged groups are members by default, and deny overrides allow.
