Cant be - sharedDisplayName cant it?   (I did peek :oP)   CM From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Eric Fleischman Sent: Wednesday, May 19, 2004 6:41 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] LDAP filter I can conceive of a scenario (maybe more, you tell me) where lDAPDisplayName is not unique. Anyone want to take a swing at it?   Attached is my first answer....no peaking!   ~Eric     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of joe Sent: Wednesday, May 19, 2004 11:05 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] LDAP filter   6... heck it was like 9 when you posted that! :oP   WRT to objectcategory... are you testing me or looking for free research. <eg>   lDAPDisplayName according to MS must be unique within the schema container. Please see http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=""> for details.   However that being said, to this point, that is considered propoganda because I have never actually tried it.   It was interesting when I first read your question though, my first response in my head was well it &*(^* well better be... Then I was thinking though they could get tricky with the fact that you have attribs and objects and they are used differently and the ldapdisplayname isn't the key for the rdn (i.e. cn)...   I had to go look. Too much thinking for the day...     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gil Kirkpatrick Sent: Wednesday, May 19, 2004 11:40 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] LDAP filter Hey, whaddaya want for 6 in the morning? :)   WRT objectCategory not being needed, is there a restriction that a classSchema object cannot have the same ldapDisplayName as an attributeSchema object?   -g   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of joe Sent: Wednesday, May 19, 2004 6:51 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] LDAP filter Hey Gil is playing today. :o)   Always like hearing from Gil.   One small typo...   (&(objectCategory=attributeSchema)(|(ldapDisplayName="foo")(ldapDisplayName="bar")(ldapDisplayName="baz")(ldapDisplayName="quux")))     joe   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gil Kirkpatrick Sent: Wednesday, May 19, 2004 9:23 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] LDAP filter The objectClass _expression_ is redundant and unnecessary.

I am trying to return (the quickest way possible) a list of properties (the list of properties is not the problem) for the given attribute ldapDisplayNames.   So boys and girls what do we think (no rude answers :P)   carlos
