Sorry , I am relaying the information second hand because my programmer withdrew from the group a while back and hasn't had a chance to sign back up.
He wants to lookup and create or modify objects in child domains without having to bind or hop servers. -----Original Message----- From: Tony Murray [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 23, 2003 3:44 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] Child Domains Programming Justin Can you be a little more specific - which part do you need more information on? The object(s) you are interested in are in a different domain to the DC to which you have bound. The information is not available from (or via) this server. It is possible to bind to a server in a different domain, but you need to specify the domain information (using the DNS name of the target domain) in the bind string. Some more information is available here, but it really just re-iterates what Gil has already said: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/netdir/ad/b inding.asp Tony -----Original Message----- From: Salandra, Justin A.

So you're getting the domainDNS object from a replica of the root domain NC, and there are no subordinate objects in that NC. If you specify the DN of the object you *really* want to bind to, the LDAP client will chase referrals to an appropriate DC. Use "LDAP://child.domain.com/DC=Child,DC=Domain,DC=com"; to bind to the domainDNS object on a DC in that domain. -gil -----Original Message----- From: Salandra, Justin A. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 21, 2003 1:01 PM To: ActiveDir (E-mail) Subject: [ActiveDir] Child Domains Programming Me and my web administrator who is the programmer around here needs your held. If I specify the child domain: set ADS = getObject("LDAP://DC=Child,DC=Domain,DC=Com";) It only returns the object as domainDNS and will not list any child objects.. If I bind to the child using the Global Catalog: set ADS = getObject("GC://DC=Child,DC=Domain,DC=Com") I can read any properties or child objects, but this is read-only. So how do I bind to a child DC to modify users? Justin A.
