LDAP attribute for Active Directory search..

[joe131]

Hi All,

I'm trying to use IDirectorySearch with Active Directory.
I use (objectClass=*) and "distinguishedName" to query
for everything.

What I'm looking for though, is an attribute, that I can add
along with "distinguishedName", that can describe the
Object, like "Group", "User", "Domain" or "Organizational Unit". Is there such an attribute that I could use?

"cn" just gives what's already in the "distinguishedName",
and "description" is too long.

Thanks

pull out the specific objectClass attribute for each object you touch. This will then report back the distinguishedName, along with something for example like top;organizationalPerson;user or top;group or top;organizationalUnit
