Abstract
Within Windows 2000, many new features have been added or modified from earlier versions. One of the main features added is the Active Directory. This directory service provides a store of available network resources and gives the users the ability to access and use them. Many of the new features that have been added, such as the encrypting file system and certificate authorities require the robustness provided with Active Directory. The directory is used to house the information stored within Active Directory. It is its core component. This service is replicated throughout the domain on domain controllers. Several different naming conventions are used in Windows 2000 and Active Directory. Client software is also an important part of Active Directory services. Organizational Units are created in Active Directory to provide a hierarchical management structure. They are used for several different reasons, including security delegation, and provide boundaries for features, such as the group policy.
