Active Directory: retrieving all users in a group

rh
Hi,

I need to retrieve all usernames within an active directory security group
(including sub-groups) into my C# application. Is there a relatively simple
way of doing this? (I'm hoping for a simple ldap query but I feel I'm out of
luck)

Thanks,
-rh

Take a look at the DirectoryEntry & DirectorySearch er classes in System.Director yServices in
the docs.

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...

Hi! Does anyone has experience with manipulating MS Active Directory objects? I'd like to delete some users from a group, but so far I couldn't find anything about this. There is some good stuff about retrieving data out of the AD (thanks to Tim Golden!), but how can I manipulate or change AD objects like users, computers and groups with Python? Is there somewhere a documentation or some code?

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,...
