What is Active Directory?
Active
Directory is a database that keeps track of all the user accounts and passwords
in your organization. It allows you to store your user accounts and passwords
in one protected location, improving your organization's security. Active
Directory is subdivided into one or more domains. A domain is a
security boundary. Each domain is hosted by a server computer called a
domain controller (DC). A domain controller manages all of the user
accounts and passwords for a domain.
