Windows Server Active Directory

Windows Server Active Directory is a directory service that manages and organizes all the users, computers, and resources within a network. It helps ensure that only authorized individuals access specific data or devices and simplifies administration by centralizing control. Think of it as a digital phone book and security manager combined, where administrators can easily add, remove, or modify user permissions and access rights across an entire organization from a single point. This system enhances security, efficiency, and consistency in managing network resources in a business or institution.
