Microsoft Active Directory

Microsoft Active Directory (AD) is a technology that manages and organizes users, computers, and other resources within a network, typically in organizations. It functions like a digital directory, storing information about all devices and users, and controlling who can access what. AD ensures that only authorized individuals can use specific resources, enforces security policies, and simplifies administration by centralizing management tasks. Essentially, it helps organizations maintain security, streamline user access, and manage their IT infrastructure efficiently.
