Review Developers may face many challenges in building distributed applications. When an application spans multiple computers, issues such as security, configuration, data access, and service discovery all become more complex. In such an environment, a directory service acts as a central repository of information about the network of servers and resources and the organization they serve. To work seamlessly and robustly in a distributed environment, an application must take advantage of a directory service as a common store of application data. A directory service allows people and resources to move as appropriate, instead of being fixed to one location. In Microsoft Windows 2000, Active Directory provides such a service. Distributed applications written for Windows 2000 should take full advantage of the features of Active Directory. In this module, you will learn about the benefits of integrating distributed applications with Active Directory. You will learn the structure of Active Directory and the syntax for accessing objects within it. You will also learn how to access Active Directory data by using both Active Directory Service Interfaces (ADSI) and Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects (ADO). Objectives After completing this module, you will be able to: ! Describe directory services. ! Describe the benefits of integrating with Active Directory. ! Access Active Directory data by using ADSI. ! Query for Active Directory objects by using ADO. Slide Objective To introduce the module and objectives. Lead-in In this module, you will learn how to integrate distributed applications with Active Directory. 2 Module 6: Integrating with Active Directory # ## # Overview of Directory Services !

Repository of information about objects in the enterprise A directory service comprises both a repository of information and the software component that makes the information available and useable globally. Directory services are most commonly used for storing and retrieving information about people and companies, just as you might use the white or yellow pages in a telephone directory. Rich directory services, such as Active Directory, provide a scalable, secure, extensible, and consistent management infrastructure and are ideal for storing many types of information. Such information could range from application- specific information, such as the quality of service for a router, to an expense report approver for each employee in an organization. Applications that integrate with a rich directory service such as Active Directory will be more robust and manageable than those that do not. How Data Is Represented in a Directory Service In a directory service, each piece of information is represented by an object that is defined by its attributes. By using the value of an attribute — a name, for example — you can find a particular object in the directory service. After the object is found, it is possible to find additional attributes of that object. This process is similar to the way in which you can use a telephone directory to find a telephone number or address by searching for a person's name. There are many interesting objects in a networked computer system, including printers, servers, routers, applications, databases, and actual human users. Users need to determine the objects that they want to use, such as applications, printers, and servers. Administrators need to manage and monitor access to these resources and control the rights granted to users. 4 Module 6: Integrating with Active Directory For a distributed computer system, a directory service is essential to simplifying both the use and management of the system. A directory service allows users to query for objects by using their attributes. You may query for a printer, for example, by using the attributes can print double-sided and can be found on the Sixth Floor of Building 41. The directory service can then return the name of the printer, its exact location, and its network address so that you can connect to it and print. Module 6: Integrating with Active Directory 5 What Is Active Directory? ! Distributed Database of objects in a Windows 2000 domain-based enterprise Active Directory is the extensible and scalable directory service for Windows 2000. It stores information about objects in the enterprise and makes this information easy for administrators and users to find and use. Windows 2000 enterprises are comprised of domains. A domain contains related user accounts, computers, and other objects. This information is stored on one or more Windows 2000 servers configured as a domain controller. Windows 2000 domains are named by using Domain Name System (DNS) names such as microsoft.com. A large domain can be divided into subdomains. For example, the microsoft.com domain could have a subdomain named sales. The DNS name for the sales subdomain would be sales.microsoft.com. This hierarchical arrangement is called a domain tree and is shown in the above illustration. 6 Module 6: Integrating with Active Directory In extremely large enterprises, domain trees can be related to one another to form a domain forest. Administrators can configure "trust relationships" between domains in the forest to allow resources to be accessed from anywhere in the enterprise. The following illustration shows a domain forest containing domain trees that are related by trust relationships. Active Directory is the directory service used to store and locate information about objects in a Windows 2000 enterprise. It is scalable from single domain networks to extremely large domain forests. Active Directory uses a structured data store as the basis for a logical, hierarchical organization of directory information. This information is replicated between domain controllers to provide an enterprise-wide, distributed directory. Security is integrated with Active Directory through logon authentication and access control to objects in the directory. With a single network log on, Active Directory administrators can manage and organize directory data throughout their network, and authorized network users can access resources anywhere on the network. Policy-based administration simplifies the management of even the most complex network. Many Microsoft applications, such as Microsoft Exchange Server 2000, will integrate with Active Directory by storing configuration and policy information in Active Directory objects or by using the security data available in Active Directory. As a result, Active Directory is well positioned to provide a platform for enterprise applications.
