Application Scenario
A server running Active Directory Domain Service (AD DS) is called a domain controller. It authenticates and
authorizes all users and computers in a Windows domain network. That is, it assigns and enforces security
policies for all computers and installing or updating software.
Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) is the cornerstone of every Windows domain network. It stores
information about members of the domain, including devices and users, verifies their credentials, and defines
their access rights.
