Kevin, *I think* I ran into the same issue..I'm using: dap://AD/DC=<mydomain>,DC=com??sub?(objectclass=user) A lot of the fields don't show up but what you can do is add a character field, go to the database tab and in the [Database] name field and the [Vendor Information] name field enter the AD object name. I forget the tool I used to scavenge all the column names but its in the Windows Support tools pack (ADSI edit works but there's another, less intrusive one for viewing AD objects...) Best regards! Eli

(Thanks again to all that helped!!) ARDBC LDAP - Setup with the following - Host Name* - tcdc1.testco.com Port Number - 389 Bind User - testco\tuser1 Bind Password - ************* Use Secure Socket Layer - No Directory Page size - 1000 LDAP Date-Time format - AD Generalized Time Base DN for Discovery* - dc=testco,dc=com ARDBC Plugin Cache - No Under ARAdmin, I am able to create a new Vendor form and I can select ARSYS.ARDBC.LDAP. I see lots and lots of Available Vendor Tables. Here is the issue - Active Directory users are not located in one single ou. If I manually enter the vendor table ldap://tcdc1/dc=testco,dc=com??sub?(objectclass=user) I get some of the available columns, not all of them that exist on a user object. I'm missing email, telephone, etc. (I can get all of the fields when a specific ou is in the vendor table qualifier, however only those users in the ou show up...this won't work) However, If I manually enter the vendor table ldap://tcdc1/dc=testco,dc=com??sub?(&(objectclass=user)(employeeId=*)(mail=*)) I get the columns for employeeID and email, but there are still columns missing. Plus, when I do a search on this form in the AR User application it only returns employees that have email addresses, I know for a fact that there are employees that have no email addresses, I need all employees regardless if these fields are blank (or null). How do I write an LDAP qualifier that includes all of the Active Directory fields on a user object, regardless if the field has a value or not? I’ve checked ARSList and developer community already. Please help.... this is the last piece.
