Product Description

With MICROSOFT WINDOWS 2000 ACTIVE DIRECTORY PROGRAMMING, developers get the hardcore, hands-on guidance they need to fully exploit the network directory services in the Windows 2000 operating system. The book delivers a concise, conceptual introduction to the technology, then plunges into the how-to's for building powerful distributed applications that use the Active Directory service and the Active Directory Service Interfaces (ADSI). Developers working with the Microsoft Visual C++ and Visual Basic development environments get practical instruction on how to "directory enable" their Windows applications-including how to take advantage of Active Directory support in Active Server Pages. Network administrators will find useful coverage and examples geared to their needs, learning how to use ADSI with Windows Scripting and VBScript to automate common administrative tasks. Each chapter examines a different facet of programming with Active Directory, with code samples suitable for real-world applications. All the book's code is packed onto the companion CD-ROM, along with the ADSI Software Developer Kit and helpful utilities so readers can study and reuse them in their own projects.

5.0 out of 5 stars Using it extensively in my work, September 12, 2001

By	Paul H. Rich (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

My job is centered around Active Directory including architecture, manipulation and troubleshooting. I am currently writing code to perform schema modifications and bulk updates to existing objects and I have found this book to be an extremely good reference. While I am using several books including the Microsoft VB 6 reference manuals and Active Directory Developer's Reference Library (along with the excellent O'Reilly "Windows 2000 Active Directory" tome) I have found Charles Oppermann's effort to be at least as good as the others and in terms of examples and explanations perhaps a bit better. I highly recommend this book as a good reference for those writing VB to manipulate Active Directory (I don't write C code but the samples are also plentiful.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Only one problem with this book, It need a security Chain., January 7, 2005

By	Joe Taitt (Oakland, Ca) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have found only one problem with this book. It needs a security chain built in to lock it to my desk. It has an annoying tendency to get barrowed when I am not ask my desk.

I would suggest that Amazon bundles it with "how to train your Doberman to guard your computer books"

I would recommend that any who likes this book, check out Charles Oppermanns other book that is the sequel of this integrated with dot.net. It is here at Amazon under the title "Programming Directory Services with Microsoft .Net and Xml".

The only problem is that Microsoft canceled it.

Maybe if enough of us ask for them to release it....

I have taken a lot of information in this book and integrated it with dot.net on my own. But it's my belief that we need the Sequel.

Joe.

5.0 out of 5 stars "The" AD Programming book, January 22, 2002

By	robertk (Canada) - See all my reviews

Learning to Program to the Active Directory is made easier by choosing the book that is right for you, you could start on the 'Net by immersing yourself in msdn.microsoft.com and the AD SDK material but if you are like many people you need to 'have the right info at your fingertips' and this MS Press book by Charles Oppermann contains the right dose of material to assist you in your AD-enabled project! Other books such as Kirkpatrick or Robinson dive into different aspects of AD programming in more depth (especially if you are C++ inclined) while Oppermann chooses to cater towards both beginning and experienced AD programmers.Many programmers will discover some new pointers and 'best practices' that they will find to be of use!.

If I could cherry pick among the various AD/ADSI books available I would augment Oppermanns excellent book with Chapter 18 of the O'Reilly book by Alistair G.Lowe-Norris on Permissions and Auditing.

In short even if you are now moving to System.DirectoryServices under .NET you will want a copy of Charles Oppermanns' Active Directory Programming for your AD programmers toolkit!
