I have a short question: Is it possible to run Active Directory server on Windows 7 Professional x64?
I am testing some software integrated with CAS and I need to cooperate with different directory services like Apache Directory Server and Active Directory.
Do I need the server edition of Windows to make my tests?

You can download the Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS) - formerly known as AD/AM.

See this blog article for details, and download from Microsoft here.
