Version 6 of Active Directory

Updated 2004-10-08 19:27:32

Active Directory [L1 ] is Microsoft's implementation of, among other things, LDAP services.

Two approaches to AD work are:

  • through standard LDAP tools
  • through Microsoft's own utilities, which often involve extra-LDAP functionality.

I like this [L2 ] reference to Microsoft's own AD Searches [sic] Tools. Note, though, that the previous page fails to mention ldifde and csvde, which, despite the appearance of their documentation [L3 ] [L4 ], are available for Windows Server 2000. Also significant is schemadocfile [L5 ].
