Active Directory® presents organizations with a directory service designed for distributed
computing environments. Active Directory® allows organizations to centrally manage
and share information on network resources and users while acting as the central
authority for network security. In addition to providing comprehensive directory services
to a Microsoft® Windows® environment,
Active Directory® is designed to be a
consolidation point for isolating, migrating, centrally managing, and reducing the number
of directories that companies require.
Active Directory® is the integral directory service within the Microsoft® Windows®
operating systems. This service improves manageability, enables security and extends
interoperability between Microsoft® Windows® operating systems and other operating
systems.
