Active Directory is a service that stores information about objects (users, groups, hosts, etc.) in Microsoft Networks. Applications that support Active Directory use the service to learn about parameters and rights of the objects. Active Directory is based on a structured database.
Users and groups in the domain are connected to the LDAP Active Directory database. LDAP provides some outstanding benefits such as the fact that user accounts are managed from one single point, which eases the administration and reduces possible errors (refer to chapter 7.6 Setting of Directory Services). To add users and groups, use MMC (Microsoft Management Console). New users or groups added to the domain connected to Active Directory with Kerio Administration Console will be stored into the local database of Kerio MailServer only.
Run MMC from the menu .
