Master Your Domain: Windows Server 2008 Active Directory Domain Services

Tags:
security management

Overview This whitepaper addresses Active Directory or, more accurately, Active Directory Domain Services (ADDS), as it is now known with Windows Server 2008. In addition, Microsoft has also made some interesting technological changes to Active Directory. Although they are not radical, the changes will interest administrators and architects, especially those working with branch offices and those challenged by password policy restrictions.

This paper introduces the changes made to Active Directory and addresses the impact for organizations with Active Directory already installed.
