Active Directory

Hi,

I have no real idea about Active Directory (what does it do, how is it used,
what are it's requirements, restrictions, etc) and would like to get an
idea. Can anybody tell me some sites with good information?

Thanks.

The absolutely best starting point for you is Microsoft. Here is the
Windows Server 2003 Active Directory home page:

LabMice.net is always a good place to go for Windows information. There are
also many good books, though you probably would want to use a book for
Windows Server instead of Active Directory if you are a beginner. Mark
Minasi's Mastering Windows 2003 Server is a great book that includes info on
Active Directory to get you started. DNS is very important for proper
operation of Active Directory. --- Steve
