Active Directory Domain Services is a server role of the Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2 operating systems. ADS provides a distributed directory service that you can use for centralized, secure management of your network.This guide describes the installation and removal processes for the AD DS server role. You can use the procedures in this guide to install and remove AD DS on servers that are running Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server
2008 R2 in a test lab environment.ADS provides a distributed database that stores and manages information about network resources and application specific data from directory-enabled applications. Administrators can use AD DS to organize elements of a network, such as users, computers, and other devices, into a hierarchical containment structure. The hierarchical containment structure includes the Active Directory forest, domains in the forest, and
organizational units in each domain. A server that is running AD DS is called a domain controller.
