How to Install ActiveDS

ActiveDS (the DS stands for directory service) is the process by which Microsoft Windows communicates with the server and networks that the computer is connected to. Windows will send data through the server or network by way of the directory service, which makes it important to have ActiveDS installed on the computer. If your system does not have ActiveDS currently installed, there is a way to download and install the program yourself.

Instructions

    • 1

      Download ActiveDS (see Resources section below for link). Click "activeds.dll Download" on the web page.

    • 2

      You must wait for the website to count down (90 seconds) and then type in the verification code. Then click "Download" again.

    • 3

      Select the file once it has completed its download to the computer. It will most likely be found on a "Downloads" pop-up window or as an icon on the desktop. This will launch the installation wizard. It is a zip file, so if your computer doesn't currently have a zip decoder program, download a free trial of WinZip (see Resources section below for link).

      Follow the prompts of the installation wizard. Click "Install" on the last step, and the installation will begin. This will only take a few moments. Then click "Finish" once the installation completes. The ActiveDS file will now be completely installed onto the computer.
