A domain in Active Directory is a grouping of network objects (such as computer systems, users, and devices) that share a common directory database. The objects in a domain have access to the same network resources and are administered as a unit with common rules, security policies and user privileges. A domain is managed by a single domain controller, which authenticates and authorizes all users and computers in the domain. Domains can be organized into a hierarchical structure, allowing for more efficient management.
