Active
Directory
Support
Active
Directory
is
a
directory
service.
The
directory
is
where
information
about
users
and
resources
is
stored.
The
directory
service
allows
access
so
you
can
manipulate
those
resources.
Active
Directory
provides
a
mechanism
that
gives
administrators
the
ability
to
manage
computers,
groups,
users,
domains,
security
policies,
and
any
type
of
user-defined
objects.
The
mechanism
used
by
Active
Directory
to
accomplish
this
is
known
as
Group
Policy.
With
Group
Policy,
administrators
define
settings
that
can
be
applied
to
computers
or
users
in
the
domain.
ThinkVantage
Technology
products
currently
use
a
variety
of
methods
for
gathering
settings
used
to
control
program
settings,
including
reading
from
specific
application-defined
registry
entries.
For
Rescue
and
Recovery,
Active
Directory
can
manage
such
settings
as:
v
Set
back
up
locations.
v
Set
back
up
dates
and
times.
Administrative
(ADM)
template
files
The
ADM
(Administrative)
template
file
defines
policy
settings
used
by
applications
on
the
client
computers.
Policies
are
specific
settings
that
govern
the
application
behavior.
Policy
settings
also
define
whether
the
user
will
be
allowed
to
set
specific
settings
through
the
application.
Settings
defined
by
an
administrator
on
the
server
are
defined
as
policies.
Settings
defined
by
a
user
on
the
client
computer
for
an
application
are
defined
as
preferences.
As
defined
by
Microsoft,
policy
settings
take
precedence
over
preferences.
For
example,
a
user
may
put
a
background
image
on
his
desktop.
This
is
the
user’s
preference
setting.
An
administrator
may
define
a
setting
on
the
server
that
dictates
that
a
user
must
use
a
specific
background
image.
The
administrators
policy
setting
will
override
the
preference
set
by
the
user.
When
Rescue
and
Recovery
checks
for
a
setting,
it
will
look
for
the
setting
in
the
following
order:
