Hello:
I am trying to learn about Aactive Directory in VB.NET and NT security, so
if you have any good resources/references, please let me know.

At a high level ... in VB.NET

If I am a member of a domain user group - what do I need to do in order to
assign read only rights to a file I created, to that group (effectively
shutting me out from being able to edit the file of course..)

another way....

I have on AD \domain\mygroup
If create a file in \\server\directory\terry.txt
I created the file - I am a member of mygroup but other members of
mygroup currently do not have rights...
I want to give read only rights to terry.txt to mygroup

How do I assign the terry.txt an ACE and what do I retrive fromAD using
DirectoryEntry to add to the ACE
Thanks
 
Hello,

Unfortunately, there is not much in terms of high-level AD programming...it's all fairly nitty-gritty. A good place to start is absorbing as much as you can about the following .NET namespaces:

System.DirectoryServices
System.Management
System.Environment

System.Environment is automatically available to you, but the other two need to be referenced.

You might also want to look into Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM). http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...hy_use_active_directory_application_mode_.asp (Watch for line breaks.)

Take care,

Eric
 
Thanks for ADAM: very interesting but we run win2000 and XP and ADAM appears to be designed for win2003
Thanks
