About Active Directory
About Active Directory
Active Directory (AD) is Microsoft’s directory service, widely used by organizations to manage and secure their IT environments. It acts as a centralized database that stores and organizes information about users, computers, groups, and other resources within a network. By providing authentication and authorization services, AD ensures that only the right people have access to the right resources. This central management capability makes it an essential tool for IT administrators in enterprises of all sizes.
