Directory Lead-in Active Directory stores information about all objects on the network It is a fully extensible and scalable directory service that provides a single location for all published resources This section is intended for overview purposes Therefore, not spend a great amount of time answering questions about Active Directory Business Needs Reduced TCO Simplified Administration Flexible Administration Scalability Standards-based Protocol Ability to Locate Resources Easily Ability to Locate Printers Easily How Active Directory Addresses Business Needs Group Policy Single Location for Resource Information Delegation of Authority Domains that can Contain Millions of Objects LDAP Integration with Dfs Printers Published as Objects in Active Directory Active Directory provides a central repository for gathering and distributing information about objects on a network, such as users, groups, and printers Active Directory makes this information easy to find and use, and addresses the following business needs: Reduced total cost of ownership (TCO) Group Policy within Active Directory allows you to configure desktop environments and install applications from an administrative console This reduces the time it would normally take to visit each computer independently to configure settings and install applications Simplified administration Active Directory provides a single location in which you can store information about users and resources This simplifies administration and makes it easier for users to find resources throughout a network Flexible administration Active Directory enables you to specify the users who will have administrative authority over portions of your network Scalability Active Directory extends the features of previous Windowsbased directory services and is designed to work well in any organization regardless of its size Standards-based protocol Applications use the industry-standard Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) rather than proprietary protocols to access and change information in Active Directory 8 Module 1: Introduction to Microsoft Windows 2000 File, Print, and Web Servers Active Directory also provides benefits for file and print servers running Windows 2000 by addressing the following business needs: Ability to locate resources easily Provides significant benefits for file servers because you can integrate Active Directory with Dfs to publish shared folders as an Active Directory object This allows users to perform queries in Active Directory to quickly and easily locate resources Ability to maintain network efficiency Enables you to create fault-tolerant Dfs roots, so that you can access the Dfs structure even if a server fails You can map a fault-tolerant Dfs root to many servers, allowing clients to locate a server within their own site This makes it possible to set up a Dfs root for global networks while maintaining network efficiency Ability to locate printers easily Provides significant benefits for print servers because when you share printers across a network, Windows 2000 publishes the printers as objects in Active Directory by default This makes it easier for users to locate printers based on printer type, location, or both Note For Active Directory to be available, the client computers must be running Windows 2000 Professional Windows 95 and Windows 98 client operating systems that use incompatible or insufficient hardware can still take advantage of the functionality of Active Directory by using the Windows 2000 Directory Services Client Computers running the Windows 2000 Directory Services Client can search the directory service and use fault-tolerant Dfs Module 1: Introduction to Microsoft Windows 2000 File, Print, and Web
