I manage a shop of arround 30 machines et 2 terminal servers (one production, one standby.) Should I really deploy Active Directory in our network?
Are there tout really benefits, that could ballance le existence of another AD server? Our Terminal Server is to run independent, avec no autre services on it, except our corporate APP.
What great features am I missing si I will encore run it sans AD?
update: mais are tout of you running a successful shop sans AD?
Ai-je vraiment besoin de Microsoft Active Directory ?
Re: Ai-je vraiment besoin de Microsoft Active Directory ?
Using Active Directory brings a number of advantages to votre network, a peu de I can think of off le top of mon head:
- Centralised user account management
- Centralised policy management (group policy)
- Better security management
- Replication of information entre DC's
Obviously these benefits aussi bring certains overhead, et a good deal of work et time is needed to setup an AD environment, especially si you have an existing setup, however le benefits of le centralise management that AD brings are well worth it, in mon opinion.
