Overview

Windows 2000 Server delivers a hierarchical, extensible, standards-based directory service known as Active Directory. It enables users to store, find, or update data about objects such as users, files, applications or printers in one central location, instead of in multiple directories across the network. Active Directory Services for Microsoft Windows 2000 Technical Reference is the Active Directory bible for the enterprise IT department. It covers the how and the why of this powerful new directory system, and includes hands-on design and deployment information.

Provides an explanation, reference, and practical roadmap into distributed, directory-based computing with Windows 2000 Server.
Focuses on practical, hands-on design and deployment information, rather than a high-level approach
Provides information necessary to plan for and deploy Windows 2000 Server by making the paradigm shift to the next-generation directory-services model of Active Directory.
Provides an architectural background for directory services deployment, describes sample programs and scripts for directory-enabled applications, and shows how to implement a directory structure on existing Windows NT Server systems.
