ADSI is a Component Object Model (COM) based interface for accessing
directory services. Each element of the network, such as users, printers
and computers, can be treated as an object. The form ADSBrows demonstrates
how to find an Active Directory Services (ADS) container object as well as
the objects contained within that container.
To use ADSBrows, run ADSIBrow.exe to extract the form files. Run the form
from within Visual FoxPro by typing the following in the Command window:
DO FORM ADSBROWS
In the ADS Path text box, change MyServer to a valid computer name for your
network and click the Find button. If all of the Filters check boxes are
clear, the browser displays all ADS objects for the computer name entered.
The browser allows a user to drill down the object tree by clicking the
plus sign to the left of an object.
If any Filters check boxes are selected, the browser displays those
objects that match the selected check boxes. In other words, if Users and
Printers are checked, the browser displays the users and printers
for the computer name entered.
To view the properties for an object, select it in the Treeview list and
click the Properties button. When the Properties button is clicked, the
selected object's name, class, GUID and ADS path display.
NOTE: In order to use the sample, you must install the Active Directory
Service Interfaces. The Active Directory Service Interfaces can be
