Active Directory (AD) is a directory service developed by Microsoft for Windows domain networks.

It authenticates and authorizes all users and computers in a Windows domain type network, assigning and enforcing security policies for all computers and installing or updating software.

A set of rules, a schema that defines the classes of objects and attributes contained in the directory, the constraints and limits on instances of these objects, and the format of their names.

A global catalog that contains information about every object in the directory.

A query and index mechanism so that objects and their properties can be published and found by network users or applications.

A replication service that distributes directory data across a network.
