AFAIK, the only protocol is LDAP. You need to add a reference to Active DS
i believe.
Then use:
Dim oContainer As IADsContainer
Dim oUser As IADsUser
oContainer = GetObject
"LDAP://sluibericaa.slu iberica.slu.edu/CN=Users,OU=Stu dents,OU=UsersH ierarchy,DC=slu iberica,DC=slu, DC=edu")
oUser = oContainer.Crea te("user", "CN=" & "SmithA")
oUser.FirstName = "Alan"
oUser.LastName = "Smith"
oUser.SetInfo
This is an example. Obviously you need to set more properties!

The WinNT provider is also available for both NT and AD domains. Sometimes it's much easier to use
but is considerably less capable.

For the moment i can read through a hierachie of the AD by browsing bye the
use of LDAP:// strings
Now i can get to the level of finding the string of a user
LDAP://CN=BlendemanDir k,OU=Users,OU=A ntwerp,OU=BE,OU =SE,DC=be,DC=do main,DC=w
e
but now the problems is, how do i find date about the users. I Would like to
retrieve his emailaddress and the groups his in.
Does anyone know a way?
or a simple way to find a user in the active directory, or to find a group
and retrieving it's users...
thxs in advance

The following code should help:
Public Function GetUserInfo(ByV al UserID As String)
Dim RootDSE As New DirectoryServic es.DirectoryEnt ry("LDAP://RootDSE")
Dim DomainDN As String = RootDSE.Propert ies("DefaultNam ingContext").Va lue
Dim ADEntry As New DirectoryServic es.DirectoryEnt ry("LDAP://" & DomainDN)
Dim ADSearch As New System.Director yServices.Direc torySearcher(AD Entry)
If UserID = "" Then
UserID = System.Security .Principal.Wind owsIdentity.Get Current.Name.Sp lit("\"c)(1)
End If
Dim ADSearchResult As System.Director yServices.Searc hResult
ADSearch.Proper tiesToLoad.Add( "memberOf")
ADSearch.Filter = ("(samAccountNa me=" & UserID & ")")
ADSearch.Search Scope = SearchScope.Sub tree
Dim UserFound As SearchResult = ADSearch.FindOn e()
Dim propertyCount As Integer = UserFound.Prope rties("memberOf ").Count
If Not IsNothing(UserF ound) Then
Console.WriteLi ne(UserFound.Ge tDirectoryEntry ().Properties.I tem("mail").Val ue)
Dim propertyCounter As Integer
Dim dn As String
For propertyCounter = 0 To propertyCount - 1
dn = CType(UserFound .Properties("me mberOf")(proper tyCounter), String)
Console.WriteLi ne(dn.ToString)
Next
End If
End Function
