what is active directory ?

Answer Posted / sanjith

Active Directory is the directory service used by Windows
2000. It is a core new feature of the Windows 2000 operating
systems.
A directory service consists of two parts—a centralized,
hierarchical database that contains information about users
and resources on a network, and a service that manages the
database and enables users of computers on the network to
access the database. In Windows 2000, the database is called
the Active Directory data store, or sometimes just the
directory. The Active Directory data store contains
information about various types of network objects,
including printers, shared folders, user accounts, groups,
and computers. Windows 2000 Server computers that have a
copy of the Active Directory data store, and that run Active
Directory are called domain controllers.
