Setting Active Directory Domain Controller password
A domain controller is a server running a version of Windows Server operating system and has Active Directory Domain Services installed. When you want to create a new forest, a new domain, or an additional domain controller in an existing domain, you can configure the server with the domain controller role by installing domain controller Active Directory (AD DS).
When you log into a computer on a network, your account and password are checked at the central server no matter what computer you connect from. A domain controller can also control access to files and directories can be configured so that users have access to all files regardless of the computer to log on from.
