Answer 2

Many users through different accounts can use one computer, and each user can use any computer in the domain and he will have the same rights to the resources of the domain.

Answer 3

Why are computers and users separated in Active directory

Separated because they are completely different entities.

what is the difference between user management and computer management

These are completely different things and completely different management methods are used.
For example, a program cannot be installed on a user, the user does not require maintenance, the user does not know how to execute programs.
A computer, unlike a user, cannot have rights.

Answer 4

They are separated not only in HELL, even on a single computer they are separated.
For example, there is the HKLM registry branch, which is responsible for the OS on the computer as a whole, and there is HKCU, which stores the settings of a particular user.
I guess the legs in the separation of these entities in HELL grow from here.

Answer 5

They have different branches in group policies. Accordingly, the domain administrator can assign some actions with the computer, "on behalf of the administrator" - setting up work parameters, installing software, etc., or assign actions to a specific user, for example, connect network drives, printers that he only needs.
In this case, the user may not have administrator rights on his own computer, and a number of operations from his account cannot be performed (try disabling hibernation without administrator rights).
At the same time, users of the same PC can change, be with different powers, and each need different settings that are not related to the PC as a whole.
