My user account does not belong with Active Directory; can I add my computer with it so it can belong to Active Directory? If so, can I log on with my local user account? Please help me on managing user account in active Directory. Thanks.
Active directory is a very major part of administration of network which involves management of users, computers and even groups. Therefore being a management tool it ensures only those with proper authentication are allowed to log in to a system and the network resources are available to only authorized users.
Therefore playing a major role in security. The answer is that you may not be able to log in with your local user before you install Active directory in your computer network and also choose which administration strategy/group scope suits your scenario.
