Ldp.exe: LDP Tool

This GUI tool 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. LDP is used 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.

Corresponding UI

LDP comes with its own user interface. For more information about the LDP user interface, read LDP.doc in the Program Files\Support Tools directory.

Note

  • You need Microsoft Word or a compatible viewer to view Ldp.doc. You can download a free version of Microsoft Word Viewer from the Microsoft Office Download Center.
