Does anybody know of a way to search Active Directory for a given string (say a users surname or part of it)?
I have this code from Microsoft's Scripting Center:-
(the SearchParameter is passed to the function and does work if you enter wildcards characters).Code:Dim objConnection = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") objConnection.Open("Provider=ADsDSOObject;") Dim objCommand = CreateObject("ADODB.Command") objCommand.ActiveConnection = objConnection objCommand.CommandText = _ "<LDAP://dc=npf,dc=internal>;(&(objectCategory=User)" & _ "(displayName=" & SearchParameter & "));displayName;subtree" Dim objRecordSet = objCommand.Execute If objRecordSet.RecordCount = 0 Then MessageBox.Show("sAMAccountName: " & SearchParameter & " does not exist.") Else MessageBox.Show(SearchParameter & " exists " & objRecordSet.RecordCount & " time(s).") End If objConnection.Close()
However, there doesn't seem to be a way to interrogate the objRecordSet object more fully, say for the users actual name, user id etc etc.
I can only return a recordcount, not the values contained within it.
