AD/DNS Insights

What is AD/DNS?

Active Directory (AD) is a directory service developed by Microsoft for Windows domain networks. It is used for managing users, computers, groups, and other objects in a network, providing centralized authentication and authorization. DNS (Domain Name System) is a hierarchical and decentralized naming system for computers, services, or other resources connected to the Internet or a private network. AD heavily relies on DNS for locating domain controllers and other network resources.
