There is no good replacement for Active Directory, by a large margin. It’s the single biggest factor that keeps Windows alive in the enterprise.



Out of curiosity does Linux, or rather directory/desktop software running on Linux, have something similar to Windows Group Policy?


Yes, however it is sub standard and hard to use. Look at IdP


In addition to Windows, I manage Ubuntu, MacOS and iOS via Azure Active Directory. I like Azure.


Was that really a good thing? Active Directory in enterprise environments keep the hackers happy


I didn't know what the Active Directory is until now, although I found its Wikipedia page. Is it known for being insecure?


Not really, in 2024. GP is presenting a caricature.
