A.D. directorysearch er request

I need to get a directoryentry associated to a samaccountname.

It works in most cases, except when there are special characters in the samaccountname.

In the present case, a user has a '(' char in its samaccoutname so i escaped this char to test, but even if I don't have anymore a syntax error, the findone method return null so I wonder whats wrong.

anyway,
- does anybody know another way to do it?
- Is there is a method in .net to get from a standard string another string with good formatting to insert in an ldap request?

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. 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...

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,...
