As a central component of the Windows platform, Active Directory (AD) enhances the process of managing the identities and network resources. This simple to manage solution improves the domain architecture of the Windows NT 4.0 operating system, easing migration and deployment. This Microsoft directory service brings systems together and consolidates management tasks by providing a single login feature.

Your organization’s administrator can add a user to Active Directory and with one single entry enable remote access to the network, enable Exchange Messaging, and enable access for accounting, CRM and other applications. By creating a link between user accounts, mailbox account and applications, AD simplifies the task of adding, modifying and deleting user accounts. AD also eliminates the issue of multiple passwords – with Active Directory all you need is one password to login.

A single entry in Active Directory provides:

• Remote access to networks
• Exchange messaging
• Database access for all applications

Active Directory provides numerous benefits:

• Increased user productivity
• Improve fault tolerance
• Improves security
• Decreases downtime
• Reduces workload for IT staff

This diverse service allows businesses to integrate non-Windows systems into their infrastructure, simplifying the management of the entire architecture. Using internet based technologies, this system is fully scalable to grow with you as your business grows. Active Directory offers the highest level of reliability and performance so your staff get their work done as efficiently as possible, while providing a secure and manageable IT environment.
