General Introduction to AD LDS in MiVoice MX-ONE 6.x

Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS) role, is formerly known as Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM). Any user can provide directory services for directory-enabled applications without incurring the overhead of domains and forests and the requirements of a single schema throughout a forest.

It is a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directory service that provides data storage and retrieval support for directory-enabled applications, without the dependencies that are required for the Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS). You can run multiple instances of AD LDS concurrently on a single computer, with an independently managed schema for each AD LDS instance.
