New to VB.NET - Active Directory

[Phil Kelly]

Hi! I'm very new to VB.NET; haven't coded anything since MS C v5.1.....
years back, so please excuse me!

I'm trying to write some code to manipulate values in Active Directory user
objects; I need to write the value of (say) the company attribute.

Does anyone know the relevant calls to use???

I know I could script it, but I'm enjoying the challenge at the moment!

Thanks for your help.

Hi Phill,

The active directory is in my opinon not the stuff to start with VB.net,
however your choose of course. You can take a look at LDAP.

(To find something about it on MSDN is not easy)

I don't recognize the "Company" attribute. Perhaps you could indicate where you see this value so we
can determine whether it's being stored with a user object or organizational unit?

company is an attribute of organizational-person, which I believe
corresponds to both User and Contact objects....

There is no such property for an Active Directory User object. Any chance you are referring to an
account object for Microsoft Exchange?

Where do you see this information?
