Active Directory

Microsoft Active Directory Planning, Deployment, Service and Support

Active Directory services reside at the very core of most organization's infrastructure and can therefore be a driving force in creating a productive, secure and reliable technology environment.

Active Directory is an implementation of LDAP directory services by Microsoft for use primarily in Windows Networks and Domains. The main purpose of Active Directory is to provide central authentication and authorization services for Windows based computers and users in a business computing environment.

Active Directory also allows network administrators to assign access and user policies, deploy software, and apply critical updates to computers of an entire organization.

Active Directory stores information and settings relating to an organization in a central, organized, accessible database. Active Directory networks can vary from a small installation with a few hundred computers/users, to a large installation with millions of computers/users and objects.
