I need to write some .NET code for listing user and groups. I am planing to use LINQ. I do not have access to the Active directory for testing. I do not have a server and can not set up my own Active directory. Are there any public Active directory that I could use for testing. The code is only reading data from the Active directory and not writing any data.

Maybe you can install a local ADAM instead of a full-blown AD.

You could try ADAM (Active Directory Application Mode) which will install and run on XP and Vista (not sure about 7). ADAM behaves a little differently than AD, but it may fit your need.

The Microsoft download page for ADAM does not support Vista. I would still like to know if there is a public AD server.

I don't think AD is the sort of thing you would find a public server to develop against.
Best would be to run either ADAM or AD as a virtual machine on your dev box. Neither require much processor or RAM.
