Microsoft Active Directory

Active Directory, or AD, is a directory service developed by Microsoft for Windows domain networks. It is used to store information about objects on the network and make this information easily accessible to administrators and users.

AD plays a crucial role in managing permissions and access to networked resources, such as files, printers, and applications. It allows IT teams to enforce security policies, control user access, and streamline administration tasks across multiple systems. Organizations of all sizes rely on AD to maintain centralized and secure network management within corporate environments.
