DirectorySearch er question...


I am trying to search a user object that is located in a domain that is
sub-ordinate to the one from where I begin my search. For eg. I have the
domains as DC=corp,DC=comp any,DC=com and DC=dept1,DC=cor p,DC=company,DC =com

I use the following code:
DirectoryEntry rootDNC = new
DirectoryEntry( "LDAP://DC=corp,DC=comp any,DC=com" );

DirectorySearch er searcher = new DirectorySearch er(rootDNC);
searcher.Filter = "(&(objectCateg ory=Person)(sAM AccountName=tes tuser))";
searcher.Search Scope = SearchScope.Sub tree;
searcher.Referr alChasing = ReferralChasing Option.Subordin ate;

SearchResultCol lection rC = searcher.FindAl l();

The "testuser" is a user object in the child domain. Now after the FindAll
call if I attempt to examine the rC (result collection) it throws an
exception saying "a referral was returned from server".

How do I access the referral and use it to continue my search as I dont see
any method/property in result collection to do that.

I dont specify/set ReferralChasing property on the searcher I get 0 results.

Any help/pointers would be appreciated.

TIA, Jay

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. The query is fast but the first access to the result set takes longer that to do the query in SQL and process the sql results. 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...

I need to add a parameter to a directorysearcher.filter rather than using hard-coded text.

I have an AD search module which works as I want it to; searching for a matching forename and/or surname in the appropriate OU. I would like to extend it to be more flexible, so that instead of just searching for a matching string in the surname/forename fields it can match partial strings. I already have it applying a star to the end of the filter, which accomplishes part of this, but I would like it to match partial strings at the start as...

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,...
