| Summary | Annotation Active Directory, a complex database that is an inseparable part of the Windows 2000 network architecture, provides directory services that lets organizations efficiently share and manage information about network resources and users. Additionally, Active Directory acts as an integration point for bringing systems together and consolidating management tasks. The book provides a clear understanding of AD as well as why successful deployments of Active Directory infrastructure require rigorous planning. No current book gives examples of successful AD implementation, including case studies. The book ensures that all planning and deployments of AD begin with the proper foundation. The book will give a brief summary of AD compared to NT 4.0 and NDS. Once the groundwork is established for AD, there will be discussions about how to implement the different components and objects within AD. There will also be a discussion about how AD will interact with the other network services, such as DNS, DHCP, and WINS, as well as how to properly plan for the AD infrastructure, including Group Policy Objects, Delegate Control, administrative concepts, and installation considerations. There will be tips on how to avoid the most common traps of designing and implementing AD infrastructures. The final chapter will give real world AD design examples that have been implemented by some of the largest and most well known companies in the industry.
