What is Active Directory

What is Active Directory

Active Directory is a data storing service developed by Microsoft. You can use it as a distributed database that stores the information about all company computers and employees.

In addition, it is a network administration tool allowing company administrators assigning group policies, deploying programs across the network and applying critical updates to all computers or groups of computers from a central server.

Active Directory uses equal domain controllers that automatically duplicate all data stored on them and distribute it across the network to prevent its loss or corruption.

Advantage of Using Active Directory Backup
