Active Directory (AD) is a database and set of services that connect users with the network resources they need to get their work done. The database (or directory) contains critical information about your environment, including what users and computers there are and who's allowed to do what.
Active Directory (AD) is used for centralizing network management in Windows environments. It stores information about network resources, manages user accounts, authentication, and security policies, allowing efficient administration and access control in a Windows-based network.
Active Directory (AD) is Microsoft's proprietary directory service. It runs on Windows Server and enables administrators to manage permissions and access to network resources. Active Directory stores data as objects. An object is a single element, such as a user, group, application or device such as a printer.
In the console tree, right-click Active Directory Users and Computers, point to All Tasks, and then click Operations Master. Click the appropriate tab for the role that you want to transfer (RID, PDC, or Infrastructure), and then click Change.
While Windows Server 2016 installation was simple and used Active Directory for data backup, the 2019 version uses AI and the IoT to synchronize and backup data in a more secure way. Moreover, the 2019 version integrates with Project Honolulu, which gives a flexible platform to the user.
