Re: WMI - query AD group membership

Hi Gerry,

thanks for having look at this and sorry about being bit ambiguous in my original post.

- both the machine and user are on a domain
- I need to retreive a list of domain groups the _machine_ is a member of
- I can't use ADSI, only Win32 WMI classes are available

Cheers,

Rad

Hi,

I'm not sure what you mean. What does "domain group membership for the client" mean? Do you mean group membership of the user who is logged into box x or what?

Are you on an Active Directory domain or not?

If you're on AD, you should be able to use ADSI, if you're not, the title of this message doesn't make much sense to me because it says "AD".

Hi all,

is it possible to use Win32 classes to retrieve domain group membership for the client? I guess it's not as i can't find any suitable classes in the reference.

Please not that using other providers such as ADSI doesn't solve my problem - I'm strictly limited to Win32....

Cheers,

Rad
