guidelines

I need some help configuring AD LDS (Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services). I'm not an administrator, have never configured domains and I don't have a clue how to add new users to existing domains. The thing is I need to develop an app on top of Sharepoint 2010 that must be connected to AD. I've chosen AD LDS because I can install it on Windows 7 and it acts as an active directory even though there's no domain controller present in the network.

What I've done so far:

I've installed AD LDS
I've added a new instance with appication directory partition name DN=Air,DC=Watanabe,DC=pri
I can connect to it using ADSI Edit and see all kinds of strange

But now I don't know what to do?

When it opens I can see the window below, but where's next? Can anybody give me some guidelines, how can I add domain users, so I can use them in my app AD required app?
