INTRODUCTION

Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) is a directory service from Microsoft that store information about different network objects, such as printers, databases, and users at a centralized location and makes this information available to all users of the network.

AD DS simplifies the process of locating and managing of network objects and at the same time it also enables you to perform administrative tasks such as controlling the access of organizations vital resources.

Therefore AD DS acts both as an administrative tool as well as end user tool.

Microsoft released its first directory service with Windows server 2000, with the name Active Directory (AD), which was later revised with the release of Windows Server 2003 to provide extended functionality.

Windows Server 2008 AD was renamed to AD DS , which includes several new features thereby enabling users to easily configure and manage AD objects(network objects)
