Active Directory Service Interfaces (ADSI)

Definition

(Context: Security, Software, Technology Management)


ADSI abstract the capabilities of different directory services from different network vendors to present a single set of directory service interfaces for managing network resources.

It is a set of COM interfaces used to access the features of directory services from different network providers. ADSI is used in a distributed computing environment to present a single set of directory service interfaces for managing network resources. Administrators and developers can use ADSI services to enumerate and manage the resources in a directory service, no matter which network environment contains the resource.  ADSI enables common administrative tasks, such as adding new users, managing printers, and locating resources in a distributed computing environment.
