I am researching if ADLDS or ADAM is suitable for handling the users of a company product. Currently we are using AD, but we are planning to scale to more customers without needing to buy CALs.
I got how to use ADSI Edit to add User & Groups, but I couldnt find any tool to do that like "Active Directory users and computers", and I would like to avoid developing one. Is there any free GUI to manage AD LDS?

What's more, this tool is completely free! All you need to do is download and connect it to an LDS instance, and the AD LDS Object Management tool will do the rest!
Once log in to the Server Manager, click on Add Roles and Features. Then follow the wizard and select Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services under server roles and proceed with the enabling the role. Once the role is installed, click on Post-Deployment Configuration wizard in Server Manager.
Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS) is a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directory service that provides flexible support for directory-enabled applications, without the dependencies and domain-related restrictions of Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS).
AD LDS is a stand-alone LDAP server that is very similar to Active Directory. The key difference is that, unlike Active Directory, AD LDS can be deployed on a server that is not a domain controller. (AD LDS was known as ADAM (Active Directory Application Mode) in previous releases.)
You can still use an LDAP browser. Apache Directory Studio, which is working on the top of java (on both Windows and Linux) is the best Open source one.
