Directory enabled networks (DEN) refers to the industry initiative, sponsored by the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF), to develop a standard information model for representing network elements and services in a directory that both stores the network state and exposes the network information. Vendors can use this information model to build interoperable network applications and services according to a consistent set of policies. This document is not intended to be a tutorial on DEN, the DMTF’s Common Information Model (CIM), the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), Active Directory, or any of the related Windows 2000 technology components discussed in this document. Pointers to more detailed documentation are included in this document wherever appropriate.
