1 Scope 2
The Active Directory® Client Profile extends the management capabilities of referencing profiles by
adding the capability to represent the configuration of Active Directory client service and the groups
managed by the service. The Active Directory client service and groups are modeled as referencing the
security principals and profile versioning for the schema implementation version information.
