I'm currently tasked with moving a Web Application that uses Active Directory Application Management (ADAM) from a 2003 server to a 2012 Server. My question more about any references to install ADAM on Windows 2012. The reference I am going off of is for Windows Server 2003 (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc739247(v=WS.10).aspx)

I'm wondering if anyone could guide me to some documentation on how to install ADAM on 2012?

UPDATE:

I found an application called Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services Setup Wizard. By running that will I get an ADAM instance?

  • See serverfault.com/help/on-topic. Why don't you try it, and ask a question if you run into problems? – Falcon Momot Jul 28 '14 at 22:14
  • @FalconMomot - I just found the AD LDS Wizard as I mentioned and I went through it. Now my question is, is there a GUI that shows me the ADAM instance I created? – webdad3 Jul 28 '14 at 22:22

As you (correctly) guessed, AD LDS is the new name of the software previously known as ADAM; it's no longer a separate product: now it's built-in in the Windows Server OS, and you only need to enable it as you would do with any other server role.

Here's the relavant documentation: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh831593.aspx.

Caveat: there is no guarantee that an application built to work with ADAM will necessarily and seamlessly work with AD LDS; you should ask the developer(s) for guidance here.

  • I am the developer on this one as well. I inherited this application and have never done any ADAM work previously. Can you tell me where I would find the GUI to see the instance I installed? – webdad3 Jul 28 '14 at 23:06

    Check the documentation in the link; everything is explained there. – Massimo Jul 28 '14 at 23:16
