Active Directory (or AD for short) is the primary resource for controlling IT resources and permissions for organizations using Windows domains. Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) is the core component of Active Directory. It is an easily searchable data store, functioning as a tree and leaf system so that permissions and information flow through groups and objects to people.

What does Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) do?
– Stores data for users, computers, groups and other objects (printers, shares, GPOs)
– Easily searchable (worldwide catalog)
– Offers built-in security
– Logical and hierarchical organization
– Uses a schema to define objects and attributes
– Is efficiently replicated

Most of the Active Directory implementation process is planning. Maintenance and upkeep is the easy part. Ready to implement and maintain identity controls in network environments, including hybrid? Discover the complete training here — the first week is free! https://courses.cbt.gg/200
