List, I have a Vendor form (ARS 6.3) connected to Active Directory (Windows 2003), and it works fine. The 'Vendor Information' setting for the form is "ldap://ServerName/DC=pbsj,DC=com??sub?(objectclass=user)". I can query this Vendor form for a specific user just like any other Remedy form, and it's quick.
I want to be able to query a specific user in Active Directory from within a SQL Server 2000 function. In SQL, this function below does work for a user named, literally, 'LoginName'. Unfortunately, with the OPENQUERY system function the SELECT statement must be a literal string without variables (ie. can't use variable @LoginName to substitute for 'LoginName'). SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(ADSI, 'SELECT msExchHomeServerName FROM ''LDAP://ServerName'' WHERE objectClass=''User'' AND objectCategory=''Person'' AND sAMAccountName=''LoginName''') I don't think I can query the Vendor form from within SQL Server because it is not a SQL View (like other forms). For example: SELECT * FROM MyRemedyVendorForm WHERE sAMAccountName = 'LoginName' Does anyone know of a way to query Active Directory by a single user name within SQL Server? Thanks. *I can pull back All users (4000+) from AD and then search through the results, however this is too resource intensive. Another option is to create a .Net console app and then run it. I want avoid this option if possible, at least until our production server uses SQL Server 2005 because I can then create a SQL function using .Net which will run very fast.
