problems in retrieving attribute values through ADSI....

[vcplearner]

Hi everybody,

I am currently having to retrieve some data from a MS Site Server membership directory (that uses LDAP) using ADSI programming.

Specifically I need to retrieve ALL the members (and groups) that are directly under a specified group.
ALL the groups from a specified member through:

hr = pIADs->GetEx(L"Groups", vMemberOfs);

where pIADs is a IADs object obtained through

COMCALL(pIDirObject->QueryInterface(IID_IADs, (void**)&pIADs));

pIDirObject is an IDirectoryObject that has been successfully (verified properly) bound to the specified group or membership object (for example cn=adams,ou=HCP,o=Microsoft)

but strange enough I am not able to retrieve all the MEMBERS of a specified group (of MGROUP schema) through

hr = pIADs->GetEx(L"Member", vMemberOfs); (or by using "Members" or "memberOf" instead)

on which I am getting "Attribute not defined" error. Shouldn't all directories necessarily include this attribute? [Get("Groups", obviously is yielding the same results]

I would appreciate if someone suggests some alternative. Ths issue would be solved if someone can suggest

1. a code to list all the members and/or direct groups under a specified group, through getex,get or idirectorysearch etc., which would be a direct answer, or

2. a script to use GetEx("group") to retrieve ONLY the immediate parent groups of a member instead of all the groups(probably by including a search scope).

Any inputs will be highly appreciated.

Thanks.

Try HYENA by system tools. Its a good tool to query AD, LDAP run reports and export data etc.

Thanks murali I had this problem long back and have solved it.

Its just that some attributes haven't been set up properly. I made a dump of groups of all members and worked reverse in order to get the list of members.
