Viewing user object properties in AD.

[Spitty241]

Does anyone know how to define which DC you use to bind to a user object and retieve user properties.. For Example.

Set usrAdObject = GetObject("LDAP://CN=USER,DC=WORK,DC=COM&quot

When I do this and access properties like usrAdObject.LastLogin, I do not recieve the most up to date value. I want to connect to each DC and then compare the values for the most recent. Thanks for the help.

Download and install the ADSI 2.5 SDK.

In it there's a utility called ADS Viewer that will assist you in building your ADS connection strings. It's usage is described here

FWIW, I'm not sure this is possible using the LDAP provider. Jon Hawkins

If not possible with LDAP (I havn't found a way)... Do you know how to do this with the WinNT Provider, even with users organized into OUs. Thanks for the help.
