Active Directory integration works by associating specific Active Directory groups with specific Vista user groups.
When a corporate staff member logs on to a Vista system using their domain user name and password, the Vista system contacts Active Directory to authenticate the staff member. The Vista system then uses a predefined map to associate the corporate staff member with a Vista user group, and automatically creates a local Vista account for that member.
The association between a Vista user group and an Active Directory group is based on the Active Directory group's underlying security identifier (SID). This association means that the names of the Active Directory groups can be changed without disrupting their relationship to Vista user groups.
The Active Directory - User Group Mapping form allows you to set up this mapping.
