That's right, but what if the user Pablo Curello is inside an organizational group ? In that case, the LDAP string should be (for example): "LDAP://cn=Pablo Curello, ou=Sales, dc=yourdomain, dc=com". It doesn�t work with: "LDAP://cn=Pablo Curello, dc=yourdomain, dc=com" Thanks.

And I can't translate this to C for you. :] Ray at work -----Original Message----- From: Pablo Curello [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello all. Does anybody know how to transform a user's identity "DOMAIN/USERNAME" to an ldap connection string "CN=name, DC=..." ? I know how to do it in COM (C++) using IADsNameTranslate interface, but now I�m using C#. Thanks. ********************************************************************************************************** The information contained in this e-mail message is intended only for the personal and confidential use of the recipient(s) named above.
