Well, AD is very successful and solves most many problems for small and
medium customers. This is good. But I would not call it an LDAP server
mainly because it supports only 90% of the standard.
This may be the reason because many customers have an AD and aside an LDAP
directory and synchronize between them.
AD is a directory to solve primarly the needs of the ms 200X severs. It just
happen to have an LDAP interface. ADAM is like AD, withOUT the support for
the Server.
It may satisfy very modest needs, but lacks the flexibility and the
functionalities that normally an LDAP servers offers.
