Active Directory (AD) is an implementation of LDAP directory services by Microsoft for use primarily in Windows environments. The main purpose of Active Directory is to provide central authentication and authorization services for Windows based computers. Active Directory also allows administrators to assign policies, deploy software, and apply critical updates to an entire organization. Active Directory stores information and settings relating to an organization in a central, organized, accessible database. Active Directory networks can vary from a small installation with a few hundred objects, to a large installation with millions of objects.

Active Directory implementation and management can present a daunting task and take significant planning and implementation resources. One key area of concentration for BOSS active directory services is helping enterprises employ Active Directory to efficiently manage networks in the Microsoft Windows environment.

Active Directory offers vastly improved scalability as well as tighter security, enhanced productivity, and support for new technologies. Its hierarchical structure allows you to catalog network resources by a variety of attributes, arrange users and groups of users, and organize assets. Whether your network is contained in a single location or spans multiple global sites, this software enables you to manage your network from one enterprise directory. In addition, you can centralize and standardize user data, security, and distributed network resources.

As the first scalable enterprise-class directory service to deploy Internet-standard technology and full integration at the operating system level, ActiveDirectory represents a radical departure from previous Windows directory services.
