How to get some information about a user or computer in ActiveDirectory?

Dirk Hagemann

Hi!
I'm working in an ActiveDirectory Network and want to get some
information about a user-account or computer (OS for example) account.
I think this works with the win32com.client module and the LDAP-Path,
but I couldn't find yet a simple and working sample-script just to
test some things or have a first small success.
Does anybody know a simple example for this task?
The ActivePython Documentation was no real help yet and scripts I
found in the internet didn't work (probably because of mistakes I
implemented...).

Thanks for your help!

Bestr regards

Can you be more specific about what "information"
you want to gain access to? I may be able to help
but I don't REALLY understand what it is that you
desire.
