| | PC Magazine: Active Directory |
| | Active Directory may be the reason you switch to Windows 2000 &; or the reason you don't. | | | Active Directory Structure As part of its efforts to Internet-enable Windows 2000, Microsoft has built AD on two Internet standards: DNS, the standard for naming and locating domain names on the Internet, and LDAP Version 3, an Internet Engineering Task Force standard for exchanging directory information with clients and other directories. | | | Since every Active Directory domain uses a Domain Name System (DNS) name, some companies will find it useful or necessary to reconfigure their existing DNS infrastructure to match their Windows 2000 domain structure. |

| | Active Directory Overview |
| | Usage of the ITS Active Directory forest is increasing as Microsoft ends support for Windows NT 4 and departments migrate from Windows NT 4 domain infrastructures to Windows 2000 and Server 2003. | | | In slightly more detail, Active Directory is a repository of information about all objects related to the Windows network (users/groups/computers/printers/applications/policies). | | | Microsoft as well as 3rd party software developers realize they cannot adversely affect existing environments by changing the internal workings of the directory, and history has, indeed, proved this to be the case. |
