19.4 Summary

Over the last two chapters, we've covered the interfaces, methods, and property methods that allow you to use access and manipulate generic objects in Active Directory. These interfaces include:

  • IADs

  • IADsContainer (covered more fully later)

  • IADsPropertyList

  • IADsPropertyEntry

  • IADsPropertyValue

We've also looked at how to supply credentials to authenticate with alternate credentials using the ADsOpenDSObject interface.

In the next chapter, we cover how to search Active Directory using a database query interface called ADO.
