We have a windows application which was using ADAM(Active directory application mode) to store it's application settings on Windows XP. But recently we wanted to do the same on Windows 7. But couldn't install ADAM on Windows 7. Please help me to resolve this issue.

ADAM is not compatible with Windows 7. No solution for it.Arthur Xie - MSFT

ADAM is not supported on Windows 7. But if your application supports it you can use AD LDS (W2K8 version of ADAM). http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=a45059af-47a8-4c96-afe3-93dab7b5b658 --Ephrem

The wuauserv and bits are essential to install AD LDS on Windows 7. you can use the below script for installing unattended. @ECHO OFF ECHO Configuring "Windows Update Service" to Auto sc config wuauserv start= auto ECHO.
