Oddly, I was asked about the "5 main components of AD" this was kind of puzzling both because AD administration was not heavily stressed as a significant requirement of the job, and also because the question itself was vague, what did the interviewer mean? Was he talking about AD structure, such as trees, and forests, and OU's, etc. or was he talking about FSMO roles, or significant elements like domains and trusts, the schema, federated services, replication, ADDS and LDAP, etc?
