Searching domains that ar...
I have a set of 10 AD groups. What I'd like is to programmatically find out which users in the AD domain are NOT members of those 10 groups. There is only one domain. I know it's possible to perform ADO SQL queries in a vbscript but I was wondering (hoping, praying) if someone had a canned script? I suppose a hacky way might be: Dump...

DirectoryEntry user = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://cn=myuser...."); foreach(string path in user.Properties["memberOf"]) Console.WriteLine(path); then the memberOf property contains a set of strings, the full paths of the groups.
