(Active Directory Services Interface) A programming interface from Microsoft for accessing the Microsoft Active Directory, the directory within Exchange and other directories via providers. For example, an ADSI LDAP provider converts between LDAP and ADSI. Based on COM, ADSI can be used in Visual Basic and other programming languages. See Active Directory and LDAP.
