A
Active
Directory
A
Microsoft
directory
service
that
stores
information
about
the
network
operating
system
and
provides
services.
Active
Directory
enables
administrators
to
set
security
policies,
control
resources,
and
deploy
programs
across
an
enterprise.
You
can
point
Lab Manager
at
a
Microsoft
Active
Directory
domain
or
domain
controller
to
enable
an
entire
company
(or
subset)
of
users.
ActiveX
Control
An
object
that
supports
programmatic
interfaces.
Lab
Manager
prompts
you
to
install
the
remote
console
ActiveX
Control
when
you
initially
access
a
virtual
machine
console.

B
base
disk
The
original
virtual
hard
disk
from
which
a
virtual
machine
is
derived.
Virtual
machines
created
by
linked
clones
in
Lab
Manager
consist
of
a
base
disk
and
chain
of
delta
disks
that
store
the
changes
made
to
the
original.
This
process
addresses
the
potential
disk
consumption
difficulties
that
can
occur
with
virtual
machine
proliferation.
When
you
make
a
linked
clone
of
a
virtual
machine,
both
the
clone
and
the
original
use
the
same
base
disk.
When
you
make
a
full
clone
of
a
virtual
machine,
Lab
Manager
consolidates
the
original
base
disk
and
its
delta
disks
to
create
a
new
base
disk.
In
this
case,
the
original
disks
remain
unchanged.

C
chain
length
The
number
of
delta
disks
associated
with
a
virtual
machine.
The
chain
length
indicates
how
distributed
a
virtual
machine
image
is
across
the
directories
of
a
datastore.
