    The document compares LDIFDE and CSVDE, which are tools used to import and export Active Directory objects. LDIFDE uses a block-based format with multiple operations separated by blank lines, allowing modification of existing objects. CSVDE uses comma-delimited text files with a header row defining attributes and requires corresponding data for each line, but cannot modify existing objects. Both tools allow exporting and importing Active Directory user and group objects but CSVDE cannot set passwords during import.
