NDS (Novell Directory Services) is a feature in NetWare 4.x that implements a distributed directory service similar to the X.500 specification. Novell has adapted NDS for use on Windows NT and UNIX platforms. A special e-commerce version of NDS is also available. Active Directory combines features of the internet's DNS locator service and X.500 naming. LDAP is the core access protocol for the service. LDAP will allow Microsoft's Active Directory to work across operating system boundaries and integrate multiple name spaces, thus allowing administrators to manage other vendors' directory services. Differences 1)

Active Directory Based on TCPIP

DNS Server Resource Records ( MX-Record)

LDAP for internal searches, each object has a unique GUID example on following page

All Domain Controllers are native LDAP Servers

Integrates with DNS NDS

Originally based on IPX/SPX

Service Advertising Protocol (SAP) to advertise Services

Implemented in TCPIP with

Service Location Protocol (SLIP) also advertisement based

SLIP does not integrate with DNS proprietary

When implemented together reduces network performance because routers must support RIP that allows for both SLIP and SAP protocols

Not a native LDAP Server - it has a LDAP interface that translates LDAP request to native NDAP protocols

2)Internet Standards Support Active Directory

Native LDAP server

Full namespace integration with DNS

Integrated support for PKI technologies

NDS

LDAP requests are translated

No Namespace Integration with DNS

Limited Integration with PKI

What is Active Directory Recycle Bin?

Active Directory Recycle Bin is a feature that helps minimize directory service downtime by enhancing your ability to preserve and restore accidentally deleted Active Directory objects without restoring Active Directory data from backups, restarting Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS), or rebooting domain controllers. When you enable Active Directory Recycle Bin feature, all link-valued and non-link-valued attributes of the deleted Active Directory objects are preserved and the objects are restored in their entirety to the same consistent logical state that they were in immediately before deletion. For example, restored user accounts automatically regain all group memberships and corresponding access rights that they had immediately before deletion, within and across domains. Active Directory Recycle Bin is functional for both AD DS and Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS) environments. Mohannad Hamid
