Accessing Active Directory : unresolved token on REFIID types

[Neil S.]

I'm a bit of a newbie to C++, so I apologize in advance if this is
silly.

I've found many examples of binding to AD with ADsOpenObject or
IADsOpenDsObjec t. I can't compile my code. I've tried including
every header that would be appropriate. I always get "error LNK2020:
unresolved token(0A0000C1) IID_IADsOpenDSO bject" or whatever other
IID* value I pass in as the second param to the function. I've also
tried the ADsOpenObject function with the same results.

HRESULT hr;
IADsOpenDSObjec t *pDSO;
hr = ADsGetObject(L" LDAP:", IID_IADsOpenDSO bject, (void**)&pDSO);

I'm currently including the following:
#include "stdafx.h"
#include "activeds.h "
#include "MAPIWIN.H" //Got this from a search. Don't seem to need
it.

Thanks in advance for your time.

It's not silly, it's just not relevant to a group whose topic is the C++
language.

To me your question looks like something to do with COM, so you should ask
in a COM group or at least a Windows programming group.

Please read this, it includes a list of groups where your question might be
more topical.
