Could you access Active Directory services to other 3rd party?

Where is the AD database held?

How to access Active Directory

Microsoft Identity Integration Server is used to connect Active Directory to other 3rd-party Directory Services.

Or we can use LDAP to connect to other directories.(Lightweight Directory Access Protocol –LDAP)

Database is saved in/ntds. You can see other files also in this folder.

 

These are the main files controlling the AD structure

ntds.dit

edb.log

res1.log

res2.log c:windowsntdsNTDS.DIT

 

 

Install Replication Monitor from Support tools, run from command line with "replmon" command, and add DC and it will show you all partitions that DC holds and all replication partners for each partition
