I am a developer and I don't have access to Active Directory management in my
company.
Is there a light weight utility that allows me to display Active Directory
information without the ability to change anything?

A quick and dirty little tool I use is ldp.exe
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/224543). More info here:

Thanks,
I have no idea at what Ip address I would find my active directory.
Any tips?

Either check with your network admin or use a port scanner on your network
and scan for responses at port 389 (for example).

Generally, if AD is deployed correctly and the current machine is domain
joined, you can provide ldp with a null value for the server name and it
will locate a domain controller based on the domain that the current user is
logged in to. You can also usually just put in the DNS name of the domain
you want to use and it will find a DC in that domain.

There is generally no reason to change the port as AD always uses port 389
for LDAP.
