Active Directory User and Domain name

Hi,

I am developing a small programme to add ACTIVE DIRECTORY users to another
server. everything works fine .. I get the users from AD using LDAP but while
adding users I need to get the user in the form of Domain\UserName . I get the
domain name of our server but I face another problem which is

our server name is "Preston" which I get it easily but user format in active
directory is in the form of "Preston0\UserN ame" I have tried all the possible
properties of Active Directory User but didnt able to get this Pre-window
Active Directory Domain structure.

Please help me out for this problem, I shall be very gratefull of you people
for any help.

Thanks in advance,

We recently moved a web site that validated user credentials in Active Directory from IIS 5.1 to IIS 6, and the validation code no longer works. The web.config file is set to Windows authentication because all we do is verify the user on the login form so we can redirect them to the appropriate page based on their group. The code to authenticate is: Public Function IsAuthenticated(ByVal domain As String, ByVal username As String, ByVal...

My goal, somehow, is to populate a dropdownlist with all the user names in active directory. I don't even know where to begin, really. I added a reference to System.DirectoryServices so I could use the System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory namespace. I don't even know if this is the right way to go as I can't seem to find anything in that namespace that would help me query active directory for names. I can't use an LDAP query...

In this brief tutorial I'll describe how you retrieve information from an Active Directory through the OLE-DB extension. While it is possible to use the LDAP extension to achieve the same goal, as you will see using Microsoft's OLE-DB provider is much easier. You will need to download and install the OLE-DB extension. Here's the location once again: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=171247&package_id=198554. See my...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

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,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
