Microsoft Active Directory is the most widely used identity management solution. It can centrally manage identities across the infrastructure. It is equipped with different role services, features, and components that helps us handle identities securely and effectively according to business requirements. For the last 20 years, Microsoft kept improving Active Directory, and the recent release of Active Directory 2016 further emperies its approach to rectify industry requirements and protect identity infrastructures with emerging security threats. However, a technology-rich product is not simply going to make a productive, reliable, scaleable, secure identity infrastructure. It needs the knowledge about Active Directory roles services, components, and features. It also needs knowledge about how to use those effectively to match different operation requirements. Then only we can plan, design, manage, and maintain robust identity infrastructure. That's what is exactly covered in this book. Throughout, this book talks about Active Directory roles service, technologies, and features and then, how to implement those according to best practices.
