Is it possible to introduce existing AD users into SharePoint using WSS? If I create a new list item manually, and there is a User / People Picker field in the list, if I type a username in the field and submit, SP finds the user and adds it in as a SP user. Why does that not work when adding new items through WSS? I cannot get WSS to ...

ActiveDirectory Server 2003 I am using the ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider and ADroleProvider. They work great. Until my active directory server restarts in the middle of the day to get updates. (I'm not in charge of the server and can't change this). When this happens, for the five minutes the server is rebooting, my users can't u...
Setup: I have the user object in hand, via win32com.client.Dispatch('ADsNameSpaces'), in a standard Windows environment, using ActiveState Python of the 2.6 flavor. Apparently, Get() and Put()/SetInfo() methods are the appropriate ways to read from and write to properties of the object. My approach has been to simply adapt examples fro...
I set up a test Sharepoint 2007 Server before I set up a test AD Server to add it to. Based on what I read I did this backwards and if I would have set it up the other way around Sharepoint would use AD by default. Is there a way I can change the configuration so this Sharepoint server will authenticate against the domain? I did some ...
Hello: I do not have a way to test now so is it possible for you to confirm me the question of the title? I mean in a ADO.NET database transaction, I can update/insert thousands of records before commiting to the database. In Active Directory using System.Directory.Services it seems I need to commit for every entry (or record) that I u...
The following C# code (.NET Framework 3.5) returns name and description of all users for an AD Group "xyz". It works great as long as it returns a few number of records. But, it is very slow when it returns more than 100+ records. Any suggestions would be greately appreciated. Thank you in advance! var context = new PrincipalContext...

Replicating a production server's Active Directory is possible through a number of approaches as mentioned here and here. I'm looking for a simpler approach if one exists. I have a mixed-mode authentication site that I need to test. Quite simply AD users (internal) will have more privilege's than someone who logs in via forms (external)...

But my system users are stored in the Users CN, and I don't want to retrieve those. It looks a lot like another question, but their answer didn't help me. I'm using the hint provided here, but its not helping out ...
We have a bunch of RHEL5/CENTOS5 boxes. And now, despite our best efforts, we are having XP desktops and AD (WS2003) shoved down our throats. Currently the linux boxes are all standalone, and use the usual /etc/passwd authentications, /etc/group groups, /etc/sudoers sudoers, and so forth. So this could actually be a constructive th...
