Updated: January 21, 2008
The Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS) server
role is a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directory
service. It provides data storage and retrieval for directory-enabled
applications, without the dependencies that are required for Active
Directory Domain Services (AD DS).

the functionality that was provided by Active Directory Application
Mode (ADAM), which is available for Windows XP Professional and
the Windows Server 2003 operating systems.
