ADS Password Storage Protection

[<rolando_ruiz () jetaviation com>]

I'm looking for best practice ways of protecting access to password
storage in Active Directory. I have some immediate questions:

Where exactly are passwords kept?
Are these passwords kept in plain text?
How can I protect these passwords from being hacked? (Encryption,
restrictions, etc...)

Thank you in advanced
