DirectorySearch er

Hi,
I have this code sample in my window application project :
DirectorySearch er mySearcher = new DirectorySearch er("(CN=WMLIN2) ");
foreach( SearchResult resEnt in mySearcher.Find All()) and it works
perfectly, it connecst to the domain and FindAll() function excutes perfectly
without any troubles.

I need run the same code in my ASP .Net web application and this wouldn't
work. FindAll() gives an exception that i can not connect to the domain or
might not exist. Any ideas why it works in wondows appl. but not asp.net. Any
ideas how to fix that?

Because the standard account under which ASP.NET runs does not (normally)
have sufficient privileges to query ActiveDirectory .
Any ideas how to fix that?
Two ways:

1) Use impersonation so that your web app runs under a different user
account which has access to Active Directory (recommended)

2) Supply explicit credentials to the DirectoryEntry constructor in the
System.Director yServices namespace

Group, I'm hoping someone can shed some light on active directory search pagination for me. For the DirectorySearcher class there are several methods for paging (.PageSize, .ServerPageTimeLimit) but there are no examples or explanation. How do I implement pagination with these properties? I can't seem to locate any pointers on this. The closest I came was this fine article by Duncan Mackenzie...

I have always been under the impression that LDAP was optimized for speed. Fast queries, fast access, slower writes. I have a block of data in LDAP and in SQL. Exact same data.

From my trace.axd LDAP Test Starting Search 0.000112 0.000043 LDAP Test Done Search 0.003821 0.003374 <--- fast query at .003 sec LDAP...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
