    Active Directory is a directory service that uses a hierarchical structure to store information about shared resources and administration across a network. It tracks things like users, computers, shared volumes, printers, and privileges. Active Directory provides file sharing, authentication, access control to services and shares, and services like printing and internet access. It replicates this information across the entire network for integration, flexible querying, information security, simplified administration, and scalability.
