Overview
Active Directory (also known as AD) is a directory service that Microsoft developed for Windows networks and is usually not accessible from outside an organization's firewall. therefore, a direct connection to Active Directory is rarely possible (from the cloud).
In order to extract data from a customer's AD, a small software package (Active Directory Agent - see below) must be installed and configured on a server within the customer's network.
Other options for extracting data from AD are also available - see the topic Active Directory Options for more details.
