Active Directory Application Mode
Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM) is an independent mode of Active Directory, without infrastructure features, that provides directory services for applications. It provides a data store and services for accessing the data store. It uses standard application programming interfaces (APIs) for accessing the application data. ADAM operates either as a stand-alone data store, or with replication. Its independence enables local control and autonomy of directory services for specific applications. It also facilitates independent, flexible schemas and naming contexts.
ADAM Overview
For organizations that require flexible support for directory-enabled applications, Microsoft has developed ADAM. ADAM is a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directory service. Administrators can run ADAM on servers running Windows Server 2003.
ADAM can also run on clients running Microsoft Windows XP Professional. To run do so, administrators must install the latest service packs and hot fixes.
ADAM provides data storage and retrieval for directory-enabled applications, without the dependencies that are required for the Active Directory directory service. ADAM provides much of the same functionality as Active Directory, but it does not require the deployment of domains or domain controllers. Administrators can run multiple instances of ADAM concurrently on a single computer, with an independently managed schema for each ADAM instance.
What's new in ADAM
The following features are new to ADAM in Windows Server 2003 R2:
Users can be created in the configuration partition so that ADAM users can be ADAM administrators.
