Simple question

[Jeppedal]

Hi,

I'm totally new with the concept of LDAP, and need some help with a simple query.

What I actually need to to is to sample the total number of users defined in Windows 2000 Active Directory on a regular basis.

For this I have an application that can do simple LDAP queries, and return the number of records found.

In the application I can define a base DN, where I have entered "OU=Users,DC=MyDomain,DC=com"

I can also define a pattern, where I have entered "CN=*"

The application returns a value of 96 on my testsite, wich is the actual number of defined users and groups beneath Users. Does anyone know if there is something I can use as an attribute in the pattern to just get the number of users, without the groups?

In the Active Directory Management Console I have a Type field containing the values "User" and "Security Group".

Thanks in advance.

Best regards
Jeppedal
