As organizations adapt to the digital industry’s demands and standards, the proportion of resources like employees, databases, or servers being managed raises questions about accountability. Also, given the scattered structure of managing the infrastructure and its processes, it becomes difficult for organizations to keep track of employee activities, making it easier for attackers to gain access to the network’s resources, resulting in a massive loss of sensitive information.
To manage organizational resources in the network, Windows started the AD Domain Service in Windows Server 2000 and evolved through Windows Server 2012. It is a repository of all such contents of the organization databases, including resources, shared documents, service accounts, and domain admin accounts, allowing for centralized policy creation, user management, and authentication control.
