Active Directory stores information about objects in the network and makes it easy for administrators and users find and use this information. Active Directory uses a structured database store to organize directory information in a hierarchical, logical way. This data store, also known by the directory, contains information about Active Directory object. These objects usually include shared resources like servers, volumes and printers as well as the network user account and computer accounts. See Directory data store for more information on Active Directory. Active Directory security is integrated through logon authentication. This allows for access control to objects within the directory. Administrators can manage their directory and organization through one network logon. Authorized network users have access to all resources on the network. The management of complex networks can be made easier by policy-based administration.
