I am attempting to query ActiveDirectory via LDAP, but the query may contain spaces or other characters that may cause problems (hyphens?) (&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(|(&(sn=Bloggs*)(givenName=Jo*))(displayName=Jo Bloggs)) It is an OR search e.g. in SQL it would be WHERE (sn LIKE 'Bloggs%' AND givenName LIKE 'Jo%') OR ...

Since the machine I'm developing this on is hooked up to my employers ActiveDirec...

I've tried several methods to verify if a user account (LINQ to AD, DirectorySearcher (with and without a parent DirectoryEntry) and also a DirectoryEntry that links to the WinNT:// path). Every time it will co...

For reference this is the User Profile Properties section of Sharepoint where you can start an import. Ours is configured to interface with Active Directory.

I'm using the code below to look up information in active directory when a user logs on to a website. Running against a local domain it's very quick, but running over a VPN to a remote trusted domain, it's very slow (takes around 7 or 8 seconds). Running dsa.msc from the same box to the remote domain is almost as quick as running it loca...
