Product Description
Product Description
With "Programming Active Directory Services," developers get the hardcore, hands-on guidance they need to fully exploit the network directory services in the Microsoft "RM" Windows "RM" 2000 operating. 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 Services Interface (ADSI). Developers working with the Microsoft Visual C++ "RM" and Visual Basic "RM" development systems get practical instruction on how to 'directory enable' their Windows 2000-based applications -- including how to take advantage of Active Directory support in Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server and other Microsoft technologies. Network administrators will find useful coverage and examples geared to their needs, learning how to use ADSI to automate common administrative tasks. In addition, the book highlights the key differences between Novell Directory Services and Active Directory -- helping readers facilitate application migration. Each chapter examines a different facet of programming with Active Directory, illustrated by a real-world application. Many of these sample programs are ready-to-use utilities -- and all the book's code is packed onto the companion CD-ROM so readers can study and reuse them in their own projects.

Format:Paperback
This book is very handy for "dipping into" when you need to do something quickly. It covers all the basic ADSI/LDAP stuff, using ADO to search it etc.
I would not buy this book myself, since it is not a "sit and read" title, but it is an extremely useful one to have sitting on your desk at work for the team to share. Shell out of you books budget for it, and you'll find it's only on your desk for about 1 week in 4.

Using it extensively in my work
12 Sep 2001
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
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.)

Only one problem with this book, It need a security Chain.
8 Jan 2005
Format:Paperback
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.

"The" AD Programming book
22 Jan 2002
Format:Paperback
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!
