Question: What is the purpose of the Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS)?

Answer: AD LDS is a role in Active Directory that provides a lightweight and flexible directory service. It is often used to store application-specific data, separate from the main Active Directory database, allowing applications to have their own schema and directory structure.

Example:

An organization might use AD LDS to store data for a custom application without affecting the main Active Directory schema.
