Active Directory Administrative Management

Active Directory Management

        Active Directory stores information about objects on the network and makes this information easy for administrators and users to find and use. Active Directory uses a structured data store as the basis for a logical, hierarchical organization of directory information. It is a multi faceted tool capable of empowering not just administrators, but users as well. (Click on the video below to see how AD can even empower users to independently reset password for account access.)

 Active Directory Administrative Center (ADAC).

        (The administrative center is the interface where systems administration happens. Anything from creating new user accounts, to unlocking stubborn accounts.)

(Use Task Manager in AD to modify user, groups, and computers.)

    

    

            Active Directory management is an essential tool that should be in every IT specialists tool belt. Accessing user needs and efficiently assisting in enterprise environments is day to day functionality in the workspace. On the next post we'll dive into permissions in Linux!
