Active Directory is a part of Windows Server (NT), and it's the central point of authentication within a domain. The server must be set up as a domain controller, and that domain controller "controls" authentication within a network domain for all the Windows XP or 2000 boxes sitting in a network. So, when a user logs in their machine they are actually logging into the domain via the domain controller. Mostly found in enterprise configurations, no point in this for home use unless you are a big time dork and test stuff at home so you can take those same practices into the office.......whoops.
