Some corporate networks include a directory service that manages user accounts for the organization. Fedora systems can join a Kerberos, NIS, Hesiod, or Microsoft® Windows® domain as part of the installation process. Fedora can also use LDAP directories.

	Consult Network Administrators
	Always consult the administrators before you install a Fedora system on an existing network owned by someone besides yourself. They can provide correct network and authentication settings, and guidance on specific organizational policies and requirements.
