-The Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) server role provides the authentication and authorization service for your on-premises infrastructure. AD DS service failure or degraded performance can have an immediate and severe impact on your network services. Consequently, it’s important that you know how to troubleshoot this critical service. For example, suppose you open the Active Directory Administrative Center and find that some recently created users are missing. Or maybe changes that a colleague has made to Group Policy are not replicating across your infrastructure. It’s also important to consider that it’s common now for organizations to integrate their on-premises environment to cloud SaaS apps, such as Microsoft 365. If your users are connecting to Microsoft 365 apps, such as Microsoft Teams, then you’ll need to configure integration and synchronization between AD DS and Azure AD. Proper configuration enables seamless single sign-on (SSO). However, this integration must be carefully considered, and features such as self-service password reset (SSPR) with writeback should be in-place.

 > The AD DS database is self-maintaining. Every 12 hours, by default, each domain controller runs garbage collection. This accomplishes two tasks. First, it removes deleted objects that have outlived their tombstone lifetime. Second, the garbage collection process performs online defragmentation.

 ## What is restartable AD DS?
 
-In most scenarios that require Active Directory management, you should restart the domain controller in DSRM. Windows Server enables administrators to stop and start AD DS just like any other service—without restarting a domain controller—to perform some management tasks quickly. This feature is called restartable AD DS. Restartable AD DS reduces the required time to perform certain operations. For example, you can stop AD DS so that you can apply updates to a domain controller.
