- Users: Usernames, passwords, contact details and other information.
- Computers: Workstations, servers and other devices connected to the domain.
- Groups: Sets of users or computers assigned the same permissions.
- Printers: Common printers available to users in the domain.
- Other resources: Files, folders, services and other network resources.
Active Directory servers provide a number of benefits to organizations such as:
- Centralized management: Administrators can manage all objects in the domain from one place using the Active Directory management console or various PowerShell tools.
- Enhanced security: Active Directory lets you implement security policies, such as strong passwords, account lockouts, and role-based access controls, to protect network resources.
- Scalability: Active Directory can scale to support large numbers of users, computers, and other resources.
- Ease of use: Users can easily log on to any computer in the domain using their Active Directory credentials and access their resources.
Here are some of the main functions of an Active Directory server:
- Authentication: Checking the authenticity of users when trying to log in or access resources.
- Authorization: Determining which resources and operations individual users or groups have access to.
- Group Policies: Apply standard configuration settings to users and computers.
- Replication: Synchronization of data between domain controllers to ensure availability and fault tolerance.
- DNS: Provision of Domain Name Service (DNS) to convert hostnames to IP addresses.
