Active Directory/LDAP :: How To Retrieve All Users From Active Directory
Jul 7, 2010
I am trying to retrieve all the users from active directory into a sorted list, but for some reason it does not return all the users like myself for instance. It's on a client's ad and there is probably about 1500+ users in AD.
I want to learn how to add/delete/update account (including adding mail boxes for new users). Can someone point to a good book where I can begin from. I want to start with some real basics and build from there.
have a probleme with my search filter, i want to list the users of an organizational unit result.filter =(& (objectClass= user)(ou=dep1)); ====> it didn't work for me
I need to list a group of users, their group name is (IRS Group) to a list group. how to do this. I'm very new to asp.net and dont have much knowlegde about acctive directory.
I'm new to directoryServices and im trying to capture all users in the active directory and their organizational units but i'm having abit of trouble here, i've been reading through the forums and searching online but can't seem to find information that is viable to me.
Here is brief overview of what im trying to do. Im trying to create a datatable where i can insert all the usernames and their ou by capturing the values from the AD but i keep getting alot of duplicated usernames BUT in different organizationalUnits. I've checked the AD, and they do not belong so the following are my codes, but i can't seem to figure out what is wrong.
I am using System.directory services namespace in framework 2 to query active directory. I have used fixed user account impersonisation in the web.config file, find the code:
I have disabled anonymous access in IIS. Also i have given Read & write access to the account tang09 for the website virtual directory and Microsoft.NET folder located in windows folder. But still i get prompted for the domain username and password to access the website.
I m writing a web page to display user name and his contact number.
I m giving user a choice to enter user name once he enter the name i should be able to search in active directory and return all user starting with (inputed name).
DirectorySearcher deSearch = new DirectorySearcher(de);
//set the search filter deSearch.SearchRoot = de;[CODE]....
Above code needs exact login name like adamjo which is not the purpose.i should be able to display all possible possibilities for example if user enters adam i should give him choice to select whether he want to see adam josef or adam john e.t.c.Is there any property to find first name from active directory?
I am updating some CS code that was written in 2004, and that references some assemblies which extract user data from AD by query filtering on the user's title. I can't test my updated code in VS2010 because the assemblies no longer compile - the references are no longer valid (I can't create a DirectoryEntry or DirectorySearcher) so I need to work out how to replace the code with current directoryservices.accountmanagement namespace properties and methods. I have searched around but don't seem to be getting anywhere. give me some code that will work with vs 2010 to replicate the following:
I have a problem with saving some data into extensionattribute in AD.There is no problem with saving data into properties like "Mobile" or "SN" but when I try to save data into one of extensionAttribute , for example: extensionAttribute7 , I get an error "The attribute syntax specified to the directory service is invalid".There is no problems of read data from extension Attributes.
I am looking at displaying certain information from Active Directory within an ASP.NET web page/application to allow users of my organisation to update thCe specified fields. I have searched the internet for help and found windows forms based information, but nothing to really help me with ASP.NET, and anything that could possibly be of any assistance to me is written in C#. I have already built a logon form that hands forms based authentication against AD, and now want to display that authenticated user information.
I have read countless forums and found nothing so for so apparently what I need is an unusual request.I need a code snippet that will iterate through an AD domain account and display all properties for a given user.Has anyone ever built such a script?
If there is a code snippet that displays just the available properties of a user object, this would be sufficient. I am trying to build an application to add users to our LDAP and need to populate all our specific values however I don't have the specific property names to populate.
I want to use the Domain Users group to show all the users in a dropdown box. For some or other reason I cannot return all the users when looking for everyone under the domain so instead I was thinking of using the domain users group.This is part of my code:
How to authenticate an user against a particular OU in Active Directory. If the AD holds 50 OUs I don't want to look into all 50 OUs , instead it should look into a particular OU( for eg: OU=dotnet users) to authenticate the user.
