Having moved our ASP.NET site from 32-bit Windows Server 2003/IIS6 to 64-bit Windows Server 2008/IIS7 (classic mode), certain active directory operations are intermittently experiencing huge delays. Specifically, DirectorySearcher.FindOne() and DirectoryEntries.Children.Add() sometimes take up to 40 minutes to complete. These problems s...
I need to set up LDAP authentication against domain users group in AD; there is problem that ldap authenticatin seem to require that users are member of some other group than default domain users. However when there are 10000+ users its not a solution to assign all them to another group just for this tomcat purpose. There must be anot...
I have a simple intranet form where the user has to enter info for a Time off Request or other for some other internal company use. I would like to propagate the name field with the current Real Name that is logged in Microsoft Active Directory. The user has to login on their computer.

So, here's the situation. We'd like to be able to query active directory for a user's roles/group memberships, etc. Now, I can already do that using standard Java API (javax.naming), but I need a username, domain server name/address, and a password to do it. Users also have limited rights, so I can't use any external calls to fancy admin...
I often use the net user command to have a look at AD groups for a user: net user /DOMAIN <username> This works well, however the group names are truncated to around 20 characters. And in my organization, most group names are much longer than this. Does anyone know of a way to get non-truncated AD groups through the command line? ...
I have been requested to expose a web service for managing Active Directory Users via an intranet. I have been advised that LDAP is viewed as a security vulnerability and is not to be used. Given this constraint, I have managed to connect via ADSI with a DirectoryEntry object like this: DirectoryEntry de = new DirectoryEntry(); de.Pa...

Here is our current setup. We have Active Directory configured (domain named mis1) that handles all of our authentication issues. We have our web applications setup for impersonation=true so that we can have our database queries called as the user logged in.

Hi. I sometimes get the following exception: COM object that has been separated from its underlying RCW can not be used Sample code: using (AdOrganizationalUnit organizationalUnit = new AdOrganizationalUnit(ADHelper.GetDirectoryEntry(ouAdDn))) { using (AdUser user = organizationalUnit.AddUser(commonName)) { //set some properti...
Let's say a group is created with one name. If the group is subsequently renamed, does its distinguishedName also change? I'm looking for a way to permanently track AD objects even if their display names or other properties change. If distinguishedName is not constant, is there something else that is? I've seen objectguid but that se...
I want to be able to securely logon to a system without having to type in username password from a windows pc on active directory. The idea is that I (the client software, running on a logged on windows machine) have some sort of token that will prove to the server that I am who I say I am (the server talks to AD to verify the token and ...

I'm writing a C# program that will enforce password complexity in accordance with the Windows Group Policy setting "Password must meet complexity requirements". Specifically, if that policy is set to Enabled either on the local machine (if it's not part of a domain) or by the Domain Security Policy (for domain members), then my software...
Is it possible to check if an account has "Logon as service" right programatically. I know how to setup and check this manually but I would like to check it from C# code. I need to check if this right is enabled on domain level, not just on that particular server. Edit: I am looking to find out if user "Logon on as a service" is define...
Let's say I'm in OU=Groups,DC=contaco,DC=com,ct I can find all the groups in a sub OU, but the only way to find all of the groups user 'bobdole' belongs to is for me to look at each group and see if he is in the 'member' field. Unfortunately, when I look at user 'bobdole', I don't see a memberOf field that has all of these lists, he...
