It is LDAP:Note Active Directory in Windows® 2000 is a directory service that is compliant with Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) 3.0. LDAP is defined by RFC 2251 and others. Programmatic access to the directory using the LDAP API is also supported. This means you can write directory-enabled applications using the LDAP API. Microsoft provides an enhanced LDAP API for C/C++ programmers. Active Directory also supports other LDAP API implementations.
If you have existing applications that uses an implementation of the LDAP API, you can continue to use that API to access Active Directory. However, ADSI also provides a uniform, object-oriented directory access model to multiple directories. In addition to Windows 2000, ADSI supports directory access to Novell NetWare Directory Services (NDS), NetWare 3.11, and Windows NT® 4.0.
