Editorial Reviews: Product Description Active Directory is a technology created by Microsoft that provides a variety of network services, including: LDAP-like directory services, Kerberos-based authentication, DNS-based naming and other network information, Central location for network administration and delegation of authority, Information security and single sign-on for user access to networked based resources, The ability to scale up or down easily, Central storage location for application data, Synchronization of directory updates amongst several servers. Using the same database, for use primarily in Windows environments, Active Directory also allows administrators to assign policies, deploy software, and apply critical updates to an organization. Active Directory stores information and settings in a central database. Active Directory networks can vary from a small installation with a few computers, users and printers to tens of thousands of users, many different domains and large server farms spanning many geographical locations. Active Directory was previewed in 1999, released first with Windows 2000 Server edition, and revised to extend functionality and improve administration in Windows Server 2003.

Customer Reviews: Very Elementary February 17, 2010 Jeffrey L. Senter (Bethesda, Md United States) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful This is the Wikipedia articles on AD, Microsoft, LDAP, Directory Services, Kerberos, Authentication, DNS, Windows server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows server 2008R2 and FSMO roles. Not editorial content. The editorial comment leads a buyer to believe that this will cover AD in depth but none of the AD features covered in the comment are covered in the book. While I have no issue with Wikipedia, I would want a book to be more than a copy of it articles. This book is not worth $4 much less $49.
