Using ADAM administration tools
Applies To: Windows Server 2003 R2
Using ADAM administration tools
Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM) comes with several administration tools. The ADAM Setup Wizard installs ADAM administration tools when you install a new ADAM instance. In addition, you can use the ADAM Setup Wizard to install the ADAM administration tools only, without installing a new ADAM instance. For more information, see Selecting components to install.
To open a command prompt from which to run ADAM administration tools, click Start, click All Programs, point to ADAM, and then click ADAM Tools Command Prompt.
