Product Description

Active Directory, a key element of Windows 2000, is a centralized system that automates management of user data and resources and is intended to be a consolidation point for centrally managing and reducing the number of directories that companies have. Due to its complexity, managing Active Directory requires careful maintenance and monitoring. In Managing Enterprise Active Directory Services, the authors draw from their own experiences with Active Directory programming interfaces and management concepts to provide readers with an authoritative reference that will enable them to manage Active Directory services more efficiently.
