AD
(Active Directory)
Active Directory (AD) is a directory service developed by Microsoft for Windows domain networks. It stores information about network resources, such as users, computers, and printers, and provides a centralized system for managing permissions and access.
AD is widely used in enterprise environments to simplify user management, enforce security policies, and enable single sign-on (SSO) capabilities. According to a 2022 survey by Spiceworks, over 90% of enterprises use Active Directory for identity management. It integrates seamlessly with other Microsoft services like Azure and Office 365, making it a cornerstone of IT infrastructure.
