Active Directory A service that manages all information such as hardware resources
for servers, clients, and printers on a network supported by Micro-
soft and the attributes and access permissions of the users

tion method with encrypted passwords, which results in increased
safety, as compared to the usual unencrypted passwords used by
POP to retrieve e-mail messages
