What is Active Directory Namespaces ?

What Are Namespaces in Active Directory

Imagine Active Directory as a giant phonebook for a company’s network, but instead of just names and numbers, it’s got users, computers, shared folders, printers, so everything that needs a name and a place.

The namespace is the system that gives every resource a unique name and organizes them so you can find and manage them easily. It’s like labeling folders in a filing cabinet, but digital and networked, using a hierarchy.

The namespace is all about structure and uniqueness. Every resource gets a name that fits into a hierarchy, so there’s no confusion (like two people named John Doe in different departments).
