Installation of ADAM in Microsoft Operating systems

Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM) is an LDAP directory service designed specifically for directory-enabled applications.
If we want to provide access to our SharePoint Site to external parties or clients without providing them a Windows Active Directory Account, ADAM will be crucial.

ADAM in different Microsoft Operating system:

  1. Windows server 2003: By default, w2k3 does not provide any ADAM installed in it.We need download the executeable file at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=9688F8B9-1034-4EF6-A3E5-2A2A57B5C8E4&displaylang=en
  2. Windows server 2003 r2: We need to follow some steps as shown below
  • Open Add or Remove Programs from Control Panel.
  • Click Add/Remove Windows Components.
  • Click Active Directory Services under Components, and then click Details.
  • Select the Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM) check box under Subcomponents of Active Directory Services, and then click OK.
  • Click Next on the Windows Components page.

3. Windows server 2008: By default, they provided us the ADAM.

Go to start --> Adminstration Tools --> click Active Directory Light Weight Directory setup wizard.

Thats all...
