To all,

Is there a way to query all the objects in active directory within SQL Query
analyzer? I really like to write my own sql statements before putting them
into a sqlstr function within my vb.net code.

Thanks for any help,
Michael
 
Hi Michael,

in VB.NET, you can query AD objects with System.DirectoryServices directly.
Here is an sample:

authentication and Visual Basic .NET

And:

Hope this help,

Sincerely,
