NTDS

New Technology Directory Services Directory Information Tree. It serves as the primary database file within Microsoft’s Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS). Essentially, NTDS.DIT stores and organizes all the information related to objects in the domain, including users, groups, computers, and more. It acts as the backbone of Active Directory, housing critical data such as user account details, passwords, group memberships, and other object attributes.
