Hi, can anyone please tell me (Given a group name) how I can retrieve just
those users associated with that group using Active Directory using LDAP??

I am using the code below with not much luck

[code]
DirectoryEntry entry = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://" +
Domain,"LoginUser","Password");
DirectorySearcher Dsearch = new DirectorySearcher(entry);
Dsearch.Filter = "objectCategory =All users"; // All users is a group in AD
[/code]

TIA
Mark
