Active Directory Hostnames
- Alex Barth
The Austin Active Directory hostnames are grouped into two categories: application hostnames and domain controller hostnames. The application hostnames are the load-balanced methods designed to provide resilience for applications accessing the Austin Active Directory. The domain controller hostnames are the hostnames of the individual servers that host the Austin Active Directory and may be taken offline to perform maintenance as necessary to support the health and security of the domain.
