I'm currently tasked with moving a Web Application that uses Active Directory Application Management (ADAM) from a 2003 server to a 2012 Server. My question more about any references to install ADAM on Windows 2012. The reference I am going off of is for Windows Server 2003 (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc739247(v=WS.10).aspx)
I'm wondering if anyone could guide me to some documentation on how to install ADAM on 2012?
UPDATE:
I found an application called Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services Setup Wizard. By running that will I get an ADAM instance?

As you (correctly) guessed, AD LDS is the new name of the software previously known as ADAM; it's no longer a separate product: now it's built-in in the Windows Server OS, and you only need to enable it as you would do with any other server role.
Here's the relavant documentation: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh831593.aspx.
Caveat: there is no guarantee that an application built to work with ADAM will necessarily and seamlessly work with AD LDS; you should ask the developer(s) for guidance here.
