I use Microsoft Active Directory as the first line in the LDAP directory. You can use the solution to manage computer accounts, user accounts, and other objects. You can also use Microsoft Active Directory to build roles and permissions.
My company uses Microsoft Active Directory as an identity and access management solution. The tool is used for its authentication capabilities in my company.
Active Directory can be useful as an identity provider and management solution. It helps network managers with the entire user lifecycle, from creation to termination. This includes the provisioning process, the accounting process, and the authorization process. By centralizing user management, Active Directory can help improve security.
Commonly, we engage in three key use cases. The first involves upgrading customer’s outdated directories like 2008 or 2012 to newer versions for improved structure. The second revolves around creating a hybrid setup with Office or Azure cloud, aiming for single sign-on across both. Lastly, we often tackle restructuring situations due to mergers or acquisitions, where directory structures must be unified into a shared infrastructure. These are the typical scenarios we handle in our projects.
We use it to manage the users to start with and to add on security and networks. Whatnot, you can do is authentication, multifactor authentication, enabling user access externally is also possible. We also use it for federation service. So far, we are using all the features of AD.
Active Directory helps you manage users and policies. We have around 400 users, and we plan in the new year to increase the user base so that every employee has their own user account.

Our company is one of Australia's largest virtual IT groups with more than 120 users and 15 managers. We use the solution as an on-premises domain controller for our customers under various environments. Some customers have on-premises servers and domain controllers so the solution is installed and managed locally. Other customers have on-premises servers but want to migrate their mail server to Office 365 so we pair the solution with Azure AD's cloud service to create a hybrid model. The same passwords can be used for the solution and Azure AD by syncing them together through a password writeback process in Azure AD Connect. A third group of customers work only with Office 365 in cloud environments so we deploy only Azure AD for those use cases.
I'm a network administrator for three companies, and each has between 10 and 30 users. The largest has 28. And I use virtualization based on VMware ES 6 to separate my servers. I use Windows Server 2019 for Active Directory and DNS. Most of my services are based on Microsoft services on the servers, except KerioControl. Most of the users work in digital marketing. The biggest issue is installing and integrating graphical software, like Adobe and Office.
Active Directory stores information about objects on the network and makes this information easy for administrators and users to find and use. Active Directory uses a structured data store as the basis for a logical, hierarchical organization of directory information.
This data store, also known as the directory, contains information about Active Directory objects. These objects typically include shared resources such as servers, volumes, printers, and the network user and computer...
