Answer 1

Hi @Fernando SG

Below my answers for each question:

a) Active Directory uses DNS naming conventions.

Correct => Active directory use DNS naming and instead of netbios protocol.

b) The Active Directory inherits NT Server terminology.

The question is not clear , but if I well understand the question I say correct. Active directory comes after Windows NT so some terminology aree inherited from NT Windows

c) The driver requires the NetBios interface.

Not correct => Netbios is not required , and it's recommended to disable it. Netbios is replaced by DNS

d) TCP/IP configuration can be done by DHCP."

Not correct because a domain controller should be configured with fixed IP.

The DHCP is recommended only for client (workstation and laptops) .

So, it would be correct to say that Active Directory and NT Server share some terminology such as Security Identifiers (SIDs), as mentioned in O'Reilly: "And while both share some common concepts, such as Security Identifiers (SIDs) to identify security principals"
