Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (ADLDS)…

A

For applications that require a directory to store application data as a data store without installing Active Directory domain services. Since this runs as a non-operating-system service, it allows multiple instances of ADLDS to run concurrently on a single server, and each instance can be configured independently for servicing multiple applications.

22
Q

Active Directory Rights Management Services (AD RMS)…

A

Technology that works with Active Directory RMS enables applications to help safeguard digital information from unauthorized use by specifying who can use the information and what they can do with it (open, modify, print, forward, and/or take other actions).
