Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft product that consists of several services that run on Windows Server to manage permissions and access to networked resources. It stores data as objects. An object is a single element, such as a user, group, application or device, like printer.

In this blog, we will discuss the** Active Directory** service provided by Windows Server, its workflow and then we will compile the Active Directory logs by using Rust programming language.

Active Directory is a primary feature of Windows Server. Windows Server is an operating system that runs both local and Internet-based servers.
