iiiABSTRACT

Over the last eight years since Active Directory (AD) was released in Microsofts Windows 2000 Server product, AD has become one of the most popular directory service products in the world. It has also become one of the central technologies on top of which many other Microsoft products are built.

In Windows Server 2008, Microsoft has added a number of new components to Active Directory that expand the product beyond being simply a directory service. Many of these components can be used to develop an overall identity and access management solution. These components support interaction between external users even other companies and your internal AD environment. Active Directory introduces the capability of delegating administrative authority and also introduces security concepts. Active Directory can lower total cost of ownership by reducing hardware costs and enabling centralized administration. Popularity of AD is directly related to the fact that it eases out the administration burden of the IT staff of an organization and is an easy to run software.

Active directory has serves as the platform for various other applications and services such as Exchange and Sharepoint. Active Directory has become an umbrella for a number of technologies beyond what AD was in Windows 2000 Server and Windows Server 2003. Active directory has been deployed in banks, hospitals and many organizations because of the features it offers.
