    There’s nothing like it in the Linux or Mac worlds. People have often told me, “LDAP exists!” Yeah, for authentication, and that’s about it.

    If you’re a Windows sysadmin and you think, “I wonder if I could do this thing?”, the answer is “yes”, there’s an easy way to do that thing and/or a Group Policy Object to be applied. AD is a truly amazing system for managing a fleet of PCs.
