Hi Nasha,
As per my knowledge, System.DirectoryServices namespace will
definitely, if u go through this then u will get way....
Active Directory Service Interfaces (ADSI) is a programmatic interface for
Microsoft Windows Active Directory. It enables your applications to interact
with diverse directories on a network, using a single interface. Visual
Studio .NET and the .NET Framework make it easy to add ADSI functionality
with the DirectoryEntry and DirectorySearcher components. For an overview of
Active Directory, see Active Directory Technology Backgrounder.
Using ADSI, you can create applications that perform common administrative
tasks, such as backing up databases, accessing printers, and administering
user accounts. ADSI makes it possible for you to:
Log on once to work with diverse directories. The DirectoryEntry component
class provides username and password properties that can be entered at
runtime and communicated to the Active Directory object you are binding to.
Use a single application programming interface (API) to perform tasks on
multiple directory systems by offering the user a variety of protocols to
use. The DirectoryServices namespace provides the classes to perform most
administrative functions.
Perform "rich querying" on directory systems. ADSI technology allows for
searching for an object by specifying two query dialects: SQL and LDAP. For
more information see Searching Active Directory Hierarchies.
Access and use a single, hierarchical structure for administering and
maintaining diverse and complicated network configurations by accessing an
Active Directory tree.
Integrate directory information with databases such as SQL Server. The
DirectoryEntry path may be used as an ADO.NET connection string provided
that it is using the LDAP provider.
Searching Directories
You can use the DirectorySearcher class to search and perform queries
against an Active Directory hierarchy using the Lightweight Directory Access
Protocol (LDAP). You can perform queries based on properties (Rich Query) of
an object that is located in a large directory to find a specific object by
one or more of its property values. For more information, see Searching
Active Directory Hierarchies.
Administering Directories
The DirectoryEntry component can be bound to an object in the directory to
perform administrative tasks, such as modifying properties or monitoring
informational changes. For example, suppose that your company allows
employees to place online orders for books needed in their jobs. Spending
limits vary depending on the employee's position. When an employee places a
book order, the company's tracking application can use a DirectoryEntry
component to verify information about the employee's position and spending
limits. If the limit is exceeded, the DirectoryEntry component can retrieve
the e-mail address for the employee and his manager and can then send
additional information to both of them.
Requirements
Both the DirectoryEntry component and DirectorySearcher component require
that you have the ADSI SDK or ADSI runtime installed on your computer in
order to create applications with their functionality. ADSI 2.5 is installed
by default with Windows 2000 or Windows XP. If you are using a previous
version of Windows, you can install the SDK yourself from the Microsoft Web
site.
The following requirements apply to DirectoryEntry components:
To make changes to property values of Active Directory objects, you must
have administrative rights to the object you are bound to. For information
about Active Directory user rights see your Active Directory documentation
in the Windows 2000 help directory.
The following requirements apply to DirectorySearcher components:
DirectorySearcher component instances require the LDAP provider to perform
rich queries against an Active Directory hierarchy.
You must have a directory service provider, such as Active Directory or
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), installed on your computer for
the ADSI APIs to be useful when conducting searches. For more information
about the directory services you can use and how to install them, see the
Microsoft Web site.
Regards,
Vaibhav.
