- Maintain GPOs (create, remove, backup, reporting, and import)
- Associate GPOs with AD DS containers (link, update, and remove)
- Set inheritance and permissions on AD DS OUs and domains
- Configure registry-based settings and Group Policy Preferences Registry settings

Does this sound familiar…you need to determine the port requirements for Active Directory and you find yourself having to refer to multiple KB articles. Well I have found myself in this situation many times, and I am happy to report that Microsoft has published a document that covers all Active Directory components (i.e. Replication, Trusts, GCs, RODCs, DNS, User and Computer Authentication, Group Policy, and Active Directory Web Services). I personally requested this whitepaper from MS, and helped the MS documentation team create it. The document can be found here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd772723(WS.10).aspx.
