INTRODUCTION TO ACTIVE
DIRECTORY
An active directory can be defined as a hierarchical structure and
this structure is usually broken up into three main categories which
are:-

At this point (in early 1991) Jim Allchin, who had recently taken
over the LanMan group, cancelled LanMan 3.0 and scrapped its
directory service project. In its place he created the Cairo project,
which included a completely non-X.500 like directory service that lived
as part of OFS, the Cairo file system.
Around late 1995 Cairo, and its attendant directory service, were
cancelled. This left the OS team with an urgent need for a DS (for
Windows 2000) but no plans to build one. To fill the hole, the week
after Exchange 4.0 shipped, the Exchange DS dev team made a copy
of the DS sources and moved to the Windows group, where we got re-
christened Active Directory, and the rest is history. Though it was
introduced in the 1990s, it did not become a part of the Operating
System until Windows 2000 Server was released in 2000. Since then,
Windows Server 2003 and Server 2008 have been introduced and
Active Directory has gone under some expansion.

CONCLUSION
With using the Active Directory, Administrator for a large
corporation or organization, can easily update all end users computers
with new software, patches, files, etc simply by updating one object in
a forest or tree. It is important to note that active directories are a
great way to organize a large organization or corporation's computers
data and network. Without an active directory, most end users would
have computers that would need to be updated individually and would
not have access to a larger network where data can be processed and
reports can be created. While active directories can be extremely
technical and require lots of expertise to navigate, they are essential
to storing information and data on networks.
