Active Directory/LDAP :: How To Return A Group Of Users In A List Using Active Directory
Jun 15, 2010
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.
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 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.
In my organization we use nested groups. For a particular usage, we have a group (let's assume that the group name "kuku"), and the names of all the nested groups under it contains "kuku" as well.
We may assume that no other group in the LDAP has "kuku" in the name.
I need to create a filter which will return all the users which belong to one of the "kuku"s group.
Obviously, using this filter will bring only the head kukus
(&(&(objectclass=user)(objectclass=person))(memberOf=CN=kuku,cn=...rest of the group DN...))
How can I use wild card to fetch all users which belong to any kuku?
For example: (&(&(objectclass=user)(objectclass=person))(memberOf=CN=.*kuku.*))
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 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.
We had few distribution groups in our AD for emailing. To provide access to my application i use these groups to generate the license keys.
Microsoft clearly says "Distribution groups play no role in security (you do not assign permissions to distribution groups), and you cannot use them to filter Group Policy settings."
Is there any way to get the token access for the Distribution groups?
I need to get list of users reporting to a particular manager from the Active directory. In the active directory there is manager property with contains the data in the following way.
I need to get the list of domain usrs. The users not necessorily be on the domain where I am logged in. (e.g. I am logged in on domain "Dom111" but I need the list of users from the domain "Dom222")
I want this information on the basis of following - 1) Name of the Domain 2) A valid User name (of-course with Admin rights for the Target domain) and password
I am trying to use the following code -
DirectoryContext dc = new DirectoryContext(DirectoryContextType.Domain, "Dom222", "Administrator", "password"); Domain domain = Domain.GetDomain(dc); DirectoryEntry de = domain.GetDirectoryEntry(); FillList(de);
Here is the FillList function private void FillList(DirectoryEntry de) { DirectorySearcher deSearch = new DirectorySearcher(de); deSearch.Filter = "(&(objectClass=user)(objectCategory=person))"; SearchResultCollection results = deSearch.FindAll(); //checkedListBox1.Items.Clear(); foreach (SearchResult srUser in results) { DirectoryEntry deUser = srUser.GetDirectoryEntry(); checkedListBox1.Items.Add(deUser.Properties["sAMAccountName"].Value.ToString()); } checkedListBox1.Sorted = true; }
This works fine for the domain where I logged in (i.e. Dom111) but for the other domain (Dom222), while executing the statement - Domain domain = Domain.GetDomain(dc); I am getting the error saying "The specified domain does not exist or cannot be contacted."
Now, For creating the dc if I use following - DirectoryContext dcTemp = new DirectoryContext(DirectoryContextType.DirectoryServer, "Server_dom222", "administrator", "password"); Then everything works fine. But as you can see I need to pass the "Domain Controller (Server) Name"which I want to avoid.
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 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:
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.
