This graphical utility is a Lightweight Directory Access
Protocol (LDAP) client that allows users to perform operations
(such as connect, bind, search modify, add, delete) against any
LDAP compatible directory, such as Active Directory. Use LDP to
view objects stored in Active Directory along with their metadata,
such as security descriptors and replication metadata.
Note
LDP is a GUI-based, Windows Explorer-like utility with a scope
pane on the left that is used for navigating through the Active
Directory namespace, and a details pane on the right that is used
for displaying the results of the LDAP operations. Any text
displayed in the details pane can be selected with the mouse and
"copied" to the clipboard.
It is highly recommended that you read the Understanding LDAP whitepaper on the Microsoft Web site
before continuing with this document. (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=1647)
