Microsoft is offering an on‑premises identity foundation with Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS), which centralizes user and group object management, policy enforcement and directory lookups within a Windows Server forest and domain hierarchy. Microsoft Active Directory (AD) is an on‑premises directory service that centralizes the management of users, computers and security policies within a Windows Server domain. Its utilizing the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) for querying directory objects, Kerberos for secure ticket‑based authentication, and Group Policy Objects (GPOs) for enforcing configuration settings across machines. AD stores information in a hierarchical, multi‑master “forest” topology—composed of domains, trees and organizational units—which allows IT teams to delegate administrative control and segment resources according to business or geographic needs.
