This paper try to give us more details about the meaning of directory, and which type of security involved within the intended with each type of the specified directory.

The security threats pose a significant and increasing problem for organizations.

This is shown by the regular stories of fraud and data loss reported daily in the media in anywhere in the world.

There is a need to provide systematic protection from insider attacks because of their privileged access.

Moreover, we should provide a systematic protection from the outside attacks, as well.

It is worthy to separate the duty of directory by indentifying the main two duties: the duty of the system administrator and the database administrator, and we have to recognize the difference between them.

We will provide the researchers with four main threats that might be offensive to the security of directory.

Moreover, we will address the nature of attack and the purpose of this attack that may encounter the directory or network assets.

Finally, we will show the relation between Active Directory Security and Server Security.
