Getting users from a specifc AD group

[egholm]

I want to get a list of users from a specific AD group. I use this
code:

*************** *************** *************** *************** *************** *************
SearchResult result;
DirectorySearch er search = new DirectorySearch er();
search.Filter = String.Format(" (cn={0})", groupName);
search.Properti esToLoad.Add("m ember");
result = search.FindOne( );

ArrayList userNames = new ArrayList();
if (result != null)
{
for (int counter = 0; counter <
result.Properti es["member"].Count; counter++)
{
string user = (string)result. Properties["member"][counter];
userNames.Add(u ser);
}
}

*************** *************** *************** *************** *************** *************
When the code is finished user string = "CN=Egholm Jacob (DFDS
A/S),OU=Developme nt,OU=IT,OU=DFD S AS,DC=dk,DC=dfd s,DC=root"

But what I want to do is getting information like givenName,
displayName etc. from the user.
What shall I do?

You should load the givenName and displayName property from the AD.

string[] props = {"givenName ", "displayNam e", ".."};
search.Properti esToLoad.AddRan ge(props);
....

Thanks for your reply. I have change my code to this:

*************** *************** *************** *************** *************** **************

SearchResult result;
DirectorySearch er search = new DirectorySearch er();
search.Filter = String.Format(" (cn={0})", groupName);
search.Properti esToLoad.Add("m ember");
search.Properti esToLoad.Add("d isplayName");
result = search.FindOne( );
ArrayList userNames = new ArrayList();
if (result != null)
{
for (int counter = 0; counter <
result.Properti es["member"].Count; counter++)
{
string user = (string)result. Properties["member"][counter];

string test =
(string)result. Properties["displayNam e"][counter];
userNames.Add(u ser);
}
}
*************** *************** *************** *************** *************** **************
The string variable test returns the name of the group and not the name
of the user in the group.

If your cn denotes a "username", you should apply the following filter.

src.Filter = "(objectCategor y=user)";

also, you should not use a for loop to iterate, use foreach instead.

Hello Willy

I have change my code (look below), but it still dosen't work.

*************** *************** *************** *************** *************** **************
DirectoryEntry searchRoot = new DirectoryEntry( @"LDAP://dfds.root");
DirectorySearch er search = new DirectorySearch er(searchRoot);
search.Filter = "(&(cn=Grou p CFS Handlers)(objec tCategory=user) )";
search.Properti esToLoad.Add("s amaccountname") ;

foreach (SearchResult res in search.FindAll( ))
{
string dummy = res.Properties["samaccountname "].ToString();
}
*************** *************** *************** *************** *************** **************

I want to list all the users in the group "Group CFS Handlers", but
search.FindAll( ) returns 0 results. I just checked the AD and the group
"Group CFS Handlers" contain one user.
I you have any idea what I do wrong, please let my know. I believe it
has something to do with my filter, but I don't know what.
