In order to connect to the AD snapshot you’ve mounted you will need to use the DSAMAIN command. DSAMAIN is a command-line tool that is built into Windows Server 2008. It is available if you have the Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) or Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS) server role installed.
After using DSAMAIN to expose the information inside the AD snapshot, you can use any GUI tool that can connect to the specified port, tools such as Active Directory Users and Computers (DSA.msc), ADSIEDIT.msc, LDP.exe or others. You can also connect to it by using command line tools such as LDIFDE or CSVDE, tools that allow you to export information from that database.
dsamain -dbpath ” c:\$SNAP_200901250030_VOLUMEC$\Windows\NTDS\ntds.dit” -ldapport 10289

Snapshots are created and manipulated using the ntdsutil.exe command line utility. Once you have an Active Directory snapshot you can export it using dsamain.exe (otherwise known as the Active Directory database mounting tool), and you can then interact with it using any Active Directory or LDAP tool. To work with Active Directory snapshots you need to be a member of either the Domain Admins or Enterprise Admins group.
The process of creating an Active Directory snapshot is reasonably straightforward:
Log onto a Windows Server 2008 domain controller
Launch an elevated command prompt
Type ntdsutil and press enter
Type snapshot and press enter
Type activate instance ntds and press enter.
Type create and press enter.
