Active directory

[JohnandSwifty]

Hi,

I haven't used active directory as a file store before. I have a new client that does and i cant seem to find an article breaking down how it actually stores the files. I understand that there is a main DB but is this storing links to files, or are the files themselves stored in this DB?

Any clarity would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Huh?

Active Directory doesn't store files. It's purely a database for user accounts etc.
Perhaps you are thinking of DFS, Distributed File System?

Well thats what i said! - thank god, i thought i'd missed something there. I think i may factor in some time for translation on this job.

Thanks.
