Understanding Active Directory Services

Fülszöveg

Understanding Active Directory Services Discover the technology that will revolutionize network administration and networked resource management. For managing networks, directory services are absolutely vital-and notoriously problematic. But the next-generation Active Directory technology in Microsoft® Windows® 2000 Server promises to change all that. Active Directory technology uses the Internet concept of a namespace to provide a single point of administration and replication, and a hierarchical view of the directory to offer benefits such as extensibility, scalability, distributed security, and replication. Active Directory services support a wide range of well-defined protocols and formats, and provide powerful, flexible, and easy-to-use APIs. Active Directory technology provides IT professionals and users with a onestop source for network resource and management information to help them manage corporate networked resources more efficiently and easily.

Understanding Active Directory Services Discover the technology that will revolutionize network administration and networked resource management. For managing networks, directory services are absolutely vital-and notoriously problematic. But the next-generation Active Directory technology in Microsoft® Windows® 2000 Server promises to change all that. Active Directory technology uses the Internet concept of a namespace to provide a single point of administration and replication, and a hierarchical view of the directory to offer benefits such as extensibility, scalability, distributed security, and replication. Active Directory services support a wide range of well-defined protocols and formats, and provide powerful, flexible, and easy-to-use APIs. Active Directory technology provides IT professionals and users with a onestop source for network resource and management information to help them manage corporate networked resources more efficiently and easily. Active Directory services can reduce your total cost of network ownership by eliminating the need to maintain and manage multiple directories. For example, network administrators now can use a single directory containing all user information for both the operating system and for applications such as messaging and enterprise resource planning solutions. Understanding Active Directory Services takes you on a technical tour of the architecture and business benefits of Active Directory services and provides you with deployment and integration strategies. You'll learn how integrating Active Directory services throughout your network will save you time and money, while improving productivity. Topics covered include: • Active Directory services overview and architecture • Active Directory Service Interfaces (ADSI) programming • Planning namespaces, domains, and schema • Understanding replication and site topology • Security overview: Kerberos authentication, certificates, and access control • Planning your migration to Active Directory services from other directory systems Vissza
