How to change or add ADAM administrators

Question

Hi,

We are currently having a very old ADAM server running on Windows Server 2003. For some reason, we have lost the ADAM administrative credentials and unable to replica or upgrade this server to newer version of OS (which running new name: AD LDS).

So my concern is how I can change or add ADAM administrators? We willing to set it as our Domain Admins group instead of currently logged on user that were set wrongly in the past.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Nope, this is ADAM, not Active Directory. I would like to update Administrative credentials on existing ADAM instance.
