I am trying to create a simple AD search page where any of my co
workers can input and name and get in return phone numbers. I don't
need anything fancy, since most of the internal site has already been
created using Microsoft expressions, and with the standard items in
IIS. I know this question has been asked but every search through
google has not been able to provide me with the coding I want to
inject into the web site.
 
You basically want to execute an LDAP query from your web server. What web
server programming environment do you plan to implement this in? You can do
this many ways, but the exact details will depend on the target platform.

The internal site has already been created and deployed on a Windows
Server 2003 SP 2, IIS . All the workstations that access this site are
Windows XP based. As for the coding, what ever the default Windows
Server 2003 can execute with out any extra installations.
 
Windows Server 2003 includes the .NET Framework 1.1, so you can write
ASP.NET pages using .NET 1.1 or you can write ASP pages. You could also
write an ISAPI application in C if you wanted to, though I doubt it.

I'm guessing since you posted this in the .NET newsgroup that you want to
write something in .NET, but it doesn't sound like you really know.

If you are interested, we have a book on programming LDAP (Directory
Services) in .NET that might be helpful to you.

I have heard that .net is easier when it comes to html programing. If
thats the case then yes .net is what I would like to use. The book you
talk about, would it be the one listed in your sig?
 
Yes, the one listed in my signature.

Note that our book doesn't teach you how to program ASP.NET. There are many
books for that. Our book is just about LDAP programming. You can do LDAP
programming in .NET with any type of application (web, console, GUI,
service, etc.), so we try to stay neutral to the rest of the application
design and just focus on LDAP.

If you don't know ASP.NET, you'll need to learn how to do that from another
source.

You might also be better off hiring someone to build this for you or buy a
product that does this if you don't have any of these skills already. It
isn't the hardest thing in the world to learn, but there may be more to it
than you want to take on.
