About Ask the Directory Services Team
Welcome to the official Microsoft Enterprise Platform Support Directory Services Team blog. So what do we actually do? As our name implies, we support Active Directory and its associated components - Group Policies, Certificate Services, DFS and Kerberos, to name but a few - all of these technologies are our bread and butter. We provided the complete list of what we support below (well as complete as you can get- there is always something else!)
So why are we blogging? Our goal is twofold - first, we want to help educate our readers about Active Directory - whether they are our direct customers, admins who are new to AD, or anyone else who is just interested in AD. We'll also provide troubleshooting tips, tricks and information on common issues.
