SUMMARY
This article describes how to use the Windows 2000 Support Active Directory Administration Tool (Ldp.exe) to view the BaseDN attribute in Active Directory.



MORE INFORMATION

 * 1) If the Windows 2000 Support Tools are not installed, install them from the Windows 2000 CD. The file path is Support\Tools\Setup.exe.
 * 2) Click Start, point to Programs, point to Windows 2000 Support Tools, point to Tools, and then click Active Directory Administration Tool.
 * 3) Click Connection on the top toolbar, and then click Connect.
 * 4) In the Server field, type the name of a domain controller (DC). The default port 389 should be fine for the LDAP query, unless you have set up your LDAP port configurations differently on the DC.
 * 5) Click OK to connect. You should see the connection process complete successfully in the right-hand pane.
 * 6) Click Connection on the top toolbar, and then click Bind.
 * 7) Type the user name, password, and domain information for a user with access to view the Active Directory root tree.
 * 8) Click OK to bind. You should see the bind process complete successfully in the right-hand pane.
 * 9) Click View on the top toolbar, and then click Tree.
 * 10) In the Tree View dialog box, leave the BaseDN field blank, and then click OK. By default, this puts you at the BaseDN of the root Active Directory tree.
 * 11) In the left pane, you see DC=rootdomain, DC=com, with multiple subtrees. If you do not see the subtrees, you may be logged on with an account that does not have permissions to view certain subtrees.
