LDAP
In LDAP-compatible directories, a schema is the set of definitions of the kinds of objects and object-related information that the directory can contain.
Active Directory stores information about all the objects, resources on the network, policies applied on them and permissions on the resources..objects can be users, computers, printers etc
The DS tools consist of the following commands DSQUERY - search for active directory objects matching criteria DSGET - retrieves selected attributes from active directory objects DSMOD - modify attributes for one or more active directory objects DSADD - create active directory objects DSMOVE - move active directory objects DSRM - removes/deletes active directory objects
Active Dirctory stores information about all the objects, resources on the network, policies applied on them and permissons on the resources
The input file format that allows you to create, modify, and delete objects within Active Directory is the LDIF (LDAP Data Interchange Format). LDIF files are plain text files that contain directory information, formatted in a way that can be processed by LDAP-compatible applications. They are commonly used for importing and exporting directory entries and can include commands for adding, modifying, or deleting objects in Active Directory.

LDIFDE is a robust utility. This utility enabled you to import/export information from/to Active Directory. LDIFDE queries any available domain controller to retrieve/update AD information. Ldifde creates, modifies, and deletes directory objects on computers running Windows Server 2003 operating systems or Windows XP Professional. You can also use Ldifde to extend the schema, export Active Directory user and group information to other applications or services, and populate Active Directory with data from other directory services
The Active Directory Schema defines the types of user,printer objects to be created in the domain
