services if it is integrated with other applications. In this way services
such as DNS-based naming and other network information, central location for
network administration and delegation of authority, information
security and single sign-on for user access to networked based resources, etc

Active Directory is developed by Microsoft and is used primarily in Windows
systems. Integrated with other applications, it makes it possible to
administrators to assign policies, deploy
software, and apply critical updates to organizations. It stores information
in a central database. AD networks can include only a few computers or they
can be networks consist of thousands of computers and users.
