Active Directory Explorer is a viewer and editor for Active Directory databases, from Microsoft. It can be used to navigate around and modify AD entries, view schema for objects as well as perform searches. It can also save AD snapshots for offline browsing.

ADSI Edit is included by default on Microsoft Windows Server 2008 (and Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2) Standard and above. This has many similar features to the SysInternals Active Directory Explorer and is a low-level editor for Active Directory.
