We at Hexnode very often dive deep into technical topics that can help make your life easier if you are an IT administrator, an entrepreneur or just someone trying to make the most out of your personal devices. In today\u2019s episode of one of those \u2018deep dives<\/a>\u2019, we will understand what Windows Active Directory asset binding is. Not to brag, but Hexnode makes this task effortless. We\u2019ll get to that part a bit later.<\/p>\n

The throne, for the most widely used operating system, is still occupied by Windows and will probably stay the same for a while. One of the reasons for this is the ease of managing user accounts, which becomes especially relevant in a corporate environment. Speaking of user management, there is also the need to keep the corporate network secure. IT admins use Microsoft\u2019s Active Directory (AD) services to make this happen for Windows devices. In fact, the use of AD for this purpose is so common that over 46,000 companies<\/a> worldwide use it currently.<\/p>\n

AD asset binding is the term associated with binding a device with the Active Directory domain. That is, joining an Active Directory domain with your Windows devices allows you to bind user accounts with each device. This will enable users to seamlessly log in to their devices using their Active Directory credentials without creating separate user accounts for each device.<\/p>\n
