Re: ADSI script implement in C#

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi, Steven,

in VB6 or VBscript,
Dim Group As IADsGroup
Dim objUser As Object

Set Group = GetObject("WinNT://DomainName/ComputerName/Administrators, group")
For Each objUser In Group.Members
MsgBox objUser.Name & " - " & objUser.ADsPath & " - " & objUser.Class
Next

returns correct information but

in C#,
string ADsPath = "WinNT://DomainName/ComputerName/Administrators, group";
DirectoryEntry de = new DirectoryEntry(ADsPath);

foreach (DirectoryEntry d in de.Children)
{
Console.WriteLine(d.Name + " " + d.Path);
}

this does not return anything

Could you please help understand why?

Thanks!
John

Hi John,

From your description and the VB code snippet, you're going to use C# to
perform ADSI query on some domain computer's properties. As far as I know,
in .net, ADSI programming is provided by the System.DirectoryServices
namespace. And for accessing ADSI object, you can use the "DirectoryEntry"
class. Here is the C# code snippt that help query the certain domain
computer and loop its properties:

===============
static void RunADSI()
{
DirectoryEntry en = new DirectoryEntry();
en.Path = "WinNT://mydomain/mycomputer";

foreach (string key in en.Properties.PropertyNames)
{
Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}",key, en.Properties[key].Value);
}
}
==============

the following ,knowledge base article provide the same information:

#How to access ADSI objects in Visual C#
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315716

If you want more information and code about ADSI query in .net/c#, I
suggest you have a look at the following ADSI query tool, you can get more
ideas from its code:

#BeaverTail (written entirely in C#)

group")
For Each objMember In objGroup.Members
WScript.Echo vbCrLf & " Name: " & objMember.Name
Next
Thanks!
