Summary

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.
