active directory - Installing ADAM on Windows Server 2012

itemprop="text">

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 ( href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc739247(v=WS.10).aspx" rel="nofollow
noreferrer">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?

Answer

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: rel="noreferrer">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.
