This free whitepaper details best practices for managing distribution and security groups in Active Directory. As the importance of AD in any size organization grows, learn to manage AD groups properly and unleash the power of Active Directory. 

Active Directory becomes very complex to manage in Windows networks. Administrators leave, users are given elevated privileges, applications require special accounts - very soon you have an Active Directory full of security weaknesses. 

This paper illustrates how you can now centrally administer database users and role memberships leveraging your existing LDAP directories. 

If users are the lynchpin of Identity Management, then groups are the catalyst to security and productivity. Your organization wants to provision users into Active Directory and keep that data accurate. When an organization provisions a user, they want them to be automatically added to the correct security groups and distribution lists. 

Thought leaders from Intel, Thomson Reuters, IBM, VMware, SAP, and Microsoft highlight this series of interactive videos and webcasts for IT decision makers, analysts, journalists, and interested parties worldwide. 

The Intel Xeon processor 5500 series with Intel® Intelligent Power Technology, delivers up to 50 percent lower idle power. By replacing aging single-core processor-based servers with new, more energy-efficient servers, you can gain capacity to grow and to increase IT performance using fewer servers. 

One key finding discovered from this test is that the Intel Xeon Processor E5520 2.26GHz-based Dell PowerEdge 710 server achieved 75.9% higher SQL Server 2008 performance than did the Intel Xeon Processor E5506 2.13GH-based Dell PowerEdge 710 server.
