A domain controller is a server running the Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) role. It authenticates and authorizes all users and computers in a Windows domain-type network, assigning and enforcing security policies for all computers and installing or updating software.
On Microsoft Servers, a domain controller (DC) is a server computer [1] [2] that responds to security authentication requests (logging in, etc.) within a Windows domain. [3] [4] A domain is a concept introduced in Windows NT whereby a user may be granted access to a number of computer resources with the use of a single username and password combination.
Starting with Windows Server 2003, a DSRM password must be defined when the domain controller is promoted. Anyone with the password who has access to the domain controller can reboot the machine, copy and modify the Active Directory database, and reboot the server without leaving any trace of the activity.

A domain controller is generally suitable for networks with more than 10 PCs. A domain is a logical grouping of computers. The computers in a domain can share physical ...
Network access control (NAC) is an approach to computer security that attempts to unify endpoint security technology (such as antivirus, host intrusion prevention, and vulnerability assessment), user or system authentication and network security enforcement.
The SYSVOL directory can be accessed by using a network share to any server that has a copy of the SYSVOL directory (normally a Domain Controller) as shown below: \\server\SYSVOL Or by accessing it using the domain name: \\domain.com\SYSVOL Servers that work together to provide this service are called Replication Partners.
Access to the labels and control mechanisms are not [citation needed] robustly protected from corruption in protected domain maintained by a kernel. The applications a user runs are combined with the security label at which the user works in the session. Access to information, programs and devices are only weakly controlled [citation needed].
