This book offers step-by-step solutions to distributed system problems common in heavily networked companies though the use of Microsoft's Active Directory and the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). Written by the author of the bestselling 'Windows NT 4 Black Book', this book provides a real-world model for you to migrate your corporate infrastructure in the Windows NT active Directory.
You will find summaries of the LDAP APIs and lookup protocols. Author Taylor explains how NT 5's Active Directory subsystem manages "system lookup" tasks in compliance with the LDAP standard, and provides detailed coverage of Active Directory security, auditing, and integration with existing installations. You are offered tips on improving directory performance, and are given all of the source code in the book on CD-ROM. The CD also provides command line scripts that can be adapted for your own use, and all of the example projects from the book.
