Active Directory

Active Directory is a technology created by Microsoft that provides a variety of network services, including:

• LDAP-like directory services  
• Central location for network administration and delegation of authority
• Information security and single sign-on for user access to networked based resources 

Active Directory networks can vary from a small installation with a few computers, users and printers to tens of thousands of users, many different domains and large server farms spanning many geographical locations.
