Abstract
This paper covers how Domain Management has evolved from Window NT 4.0 to Active Directory. Also it provides an in-depth look at all of the advantages Active Directory has over Window NT 4.0. The benefits of using Active Directory are broken up into Categories including the improvements in scalability, organization, and replication. This paper also shows how users are managed in an Active Directory environment as opposed to local users.
Active Directory is a very useful tool created by Microsoft to make the server/client relationship easier to create and maintain throughout Windows based systems. Wikipedia describes Active Directory with the definition:
Active Directory is an implementation of Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directory services by Microsoft for use primarily in Windows environments. Its main purpose is to provide central authentication and authorization services for Windows based computers. Active Directory also allows administrators to assign policies, deploy software, and apply critical updates to an organization. Active Directory stores information and settings in a central database. Active Directory networks can vary from a small installation with a few hundred objects, to a large installation with millions of objects.
This is basically stating that Active Directory was designed to organize and manage a Domain network by providing a structure and giving the administrator the abilities to assign permission to help protect the network and also allowing the users to use special resources assigned to them by the administrator.
Before Active Directory there was Windows NT 4.0 which was in need of much improvement. It was limited to 40,000 objects and even before that limit was rea...

When it comes to advertisement, every company’s goal is to come up with the best way to get their product out there and make their product look better than their competitors. Now, there are different ways in which companies can advertise their product. Microsoft, a well-known and valuable company, produces items such as personal electronics (i.e., cell phones), computer software 's (i.e., Windows), and additional items like Xbox, Bing, and Skype, but Microsoft is really known for Microsoft Windows (Microsoft US | Devices and Services).

One of the most important times of the United States history is the blacks’ struggle to gain equality. During this time, the Civil Rights and Black Power movements played an important role in gaining the freedom that was much wanted and needed for the black Americans. But the two movements gave more to the United States than the freedoms to a race; it influenced other groups such as the student movement. The student movement has shown us that no matter whom you are, you can make your voice heard and change the world.
...Active Directory Manager (LADM) appears as a one-stop solution for managing the Active Directory. You can easily manage users, groups, and computers either individually or in bulk with a friendly GUI. Moreover, you can manage multiple domains’ Active Directory environments from its centralized platform and generate different kinds of audit report to satisfy the compliances. One more added advantage is that the trial version of Lepide Active Directory Manager is available free for complete one year for one domain.

Local Area Networks also called LANs have been a major player in industrialization of computers. In the past 20 or so years the worlds industry has be invaded with new computer technology. It has made such an impact on the way we do business that it has become essential with an ever-growing need for improvement. LANs give an employer the ability to share information between computers with a simple relatively inexpensive system of network cards and software. It also lets the user or users share hardware such as Printers and scanners. The speed of access between the computers is lighting fast because the data has a short distance to cover. In most cases a LAN only occupies one or a group of buildings located next to each other. For larger area need there are several other types of networks such as the Internet.

Use encryption and encapsulation to secure communications of public segments to enable extranets and cross-Internet company traffic. Use items such as intrusion detection systems and firewalls to keep unauthorized users out and monitor activity. Taken together, these pieces can make a secure network that is efficient, manageable, and effective.

There are various terms that are associated with Enterprise Data Management. Some of these terms are UML, OLAP, OLTP, Data Warehouse, Data Mart and Multi-Tier Architecture. Subsequently, these terms were covered during the five week course of DMB405 and will be explained in further detail throughout the course of the paper. Although the paper will not be all inclusive to the detail of each term, it will touch upon the definition, their use and their place in Enterprise Data Management. The first term that will be discussed is UML and how it relates to the subject at hand.
