I got 4 hits on MSDN, all involved the Authorization Policy Store http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/securit y/security/azauthorizationstore_initialize.asp Active Directory supports Application Partitions, which are also known as Non-Domain Naming Contexts. These partitions are used as a location for programs to store application data. An Authorization Manager policy store cannot be created or kept in the Application Partition; instead, use the Program Data container as the container for Active Directory Authorization Manager policy stores. ________________________________ From: Alice Joseph [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 02, 2004 11:35 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] "Program Data" container Al: Do you have any link to an MSDN page that talks about the Program Data container? If you have, let me know (I couldn't find anything, even a Google search didn't help). Technically, yes, you can put data anywhere in Active Directory. But each of those partitions and containers are there to serve some purpose (otherwise you wouldn't need a config partition, schema partition, domain parttion and a place for LostAndFound, NTDS Quotas...etc in domain partiton - technically you could put everything under one single node in there). And why would I want to create an OU structure for an application, if the application hasn't got anything to do with it? And how does it relate to the existence of a "Program Data" container? I just wanted to know what goes in there. ________________________________ From: Mulnick, Al [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 02, 2004 1:31 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] "Program Data" container Technically, you can put data anywhere you want in Active Directory. However, is there any reason you wouldn't create your own OU structure for an application? Have you checked MSDN for information on the program data container to see what uses it? ________________________________ From: Alice Joseph [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 02, 2004 12:55 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: [ActiveDir] "Program Data" container What is the purpose of "Program Data" container in the domain naming context of Active Directory? Is it a general purpose container where I can store any type of data or is it meant for specific purpose?
