A number of other additional services are being introduced, including Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS), Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS), (formerly Active Directory Application Mode, or ADAM), Active Directory Certificate Services (ADCS), and Active Directory Rights Management Services (ADRMS).
Доменные службы Active Directory (AD DS) хранят данные каталогов и управляют взаимодействием между пользователями и доменами, в том числе входом в домен, проверкой подлинности и поиском в каталоге.
