Setting up Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services

If you have a need for using some capabilities of Active Directory within your application but do not want to have to set up a Domain Controller every time that you want to set up your application (especially in a multi-tenant hosting environment), then Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (ADLDS) is probably for you!!

For an overview of ADLDS, you can read here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc754361.aspx

For additional details about how to set up and install ADLDS, you can read here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc770639%28v=ws.10%29.aspx

Below are screenshots on how to install and configure ADLDS on Windows Server 2012 R2:





















Of course, if you accidentally make a mistake while creating your instance of ADLDS, you can easily remove it by simply uninstalling it via Add/Remove Programs: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc794886%28v=ws.10%29.aspx
