2000 Server Active Directory

[FloridaJoe]

Thanking everyone in advance,

I have been an AS400 RPG programmer for many years - moving into visual
studio. I have both visual studio 6 and .net, but far more experience with
6. I would like to create a program that could access our active directory
and display an up to date telephone list for the organization on client
computers. Does anyone know where I may find an example of a program that
will do this, or know the basics of how it would be done. Our domain server
runs Windows 2000 Server, and all clients run Windows 2000 Professional.
Exchange is also run on a separate Windows 2000 Server machine, but I'm not
sure how the active directory users list fits in.

Hey Joe! (I might just break into a song here)

The Microsoft Scripting Centre has a ton of stuff (mainly VBScript /
WSH stuff) helps of which relates to messing with AD. This would be
readily adapted to VB6. You might also find some links on
www.labmice.net to AD or LDAP scripting. There was also some stuff on
www.devshed.com about LDAP a while back.
