Hi guys, I am trying to connect to AD and want to be able to enter a group name and return all the members of that group.
I have no idea what I am doing or where to start.
I imagine that its not a lot of code I am looking for, am trying to build a tool for my service desk to use.
Any pointers in the right direction would be awesome.
It is not difficult, though a little finicky as you have to use the DirectoryEntry and/or DirectorySearcher objects.
here is the official guide: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms180906(v=vs.80).aspx
And some other examples to get you started;
