Product Description

Active Directory services is the hub around which everything in a Microsoft Windows(r) 2000-based network turns, allowing developers to do things with applications that simply weren't possible before. The five books in the MICROSOFT ACTIVE DIRECTORY DEVELOPER'S REFERENCE LIBRARY provide the in-depth documentation developers need to make the most of this exciting new enabling technology. The books document Active Directory Service Interfaces (ADSI) version 2.5-the latest version of the Active Directory services API. A key part of the Microsoft Programming Reference series, this is a well-conceived, deliberate, value-added collection that organizes information about Active Directory services in a sensible fashion, maintains consistency with electronic and online documentation, and contains appropriate information from the Microsoft Platform SDK-all of which make this library the most focused source of printed reference materials available about Active Directory services.

5.0 out of 5 stars extensive AD reference, great guides, March 30, 2000

By	Paul (Washington) - See all my reviews

The reference information in this library is very useful and complete, but I was pleasantly surprised to see how much hands-on development information is provided as well. Since Microsoft's Active Directory is relatively new, I needed the combination of guides + reference to get up to speed with AD programming/scripting. This library provided both. The schema book, with its chapters on extending the schema and complete class/attribute listing, rounded out this reference as a must-have for people programming or scripting Active Directory. The AD glossary is a plus, too.
