Windows 2000 Active Directory data store, the actual database file, is %SystemRoot%\ntds\NTDS.DIT. The ntds.dit file is the heart of Active Directory including user accounts. Active Directory's database engine is the Extensible Storage Engine ( ESE ) which is based on the Jet database used by Exchange 5.5 and WINS. The ESE has the capability to grow to 16 terabytes which would be large enough for 10 million objects. Back to the real world. Only the Jet database can maniuplate information within the AD datastore.
Hi, I am not sure what you exactly need to accomplish but some basic tutorial on ADS configuration you will find here:
http://www.slideshare.net/supreme2012/installation-of-active-directory-on-windows-2000-server
During the installation you will be able to set a path to database file by default it is: %SystemRoot%\System32\Ntds.dit
Here is info how to relocate the file http://blogs.technet.com/b/canitpro/archive/2015/04/01/step-by-step-moving-an-active-directory-database-to-a-new-location.aspx
