RE: [ActiveDir] LDAP query question

[joe]

Come on tell us what you really think Gil...   Actually I still haven't read the ADSI section of your book. I opened it, saw the ADSI piece was first, skipped through it and got to the LDAP and started reading.   BTW, I should get royalties on that thing. You know how many people I have made go out and buy that book? Must be hundreds at this point.     joe From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gil Kirkpatrick Sent: Wednesday, February 16, 2005 3:30 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] LDAP query question ADSI is so lame.   Try escaping the slash in the DN with "\2f", e.g. "cn=foo\2fbar,cn=user,dc=domain,dc=com". If this is C or some variant, don't forget to escape the backslash itself.   -gil From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Passo, Larry Sent: Wednesday, February 16, 2005 12:05 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] LDAP query question I have developed a number of applications that do various queries on AD. However, I have run into a problem with doing an LDAP query in groups that have been named with the “/” character in their name. Since the group was named with a “/”, the distinguished name for the object also has the “/” character. When my app tries to connect to the object using the following, an error results:   Create Object("LDAP://" & distinguishedname)   The LDAP query is assuming that I’m trying to do a query of the form LDAP://server/distinguishedname. The WINNT provider has the same issue.   Any suggestions? (Besides renaming the groups?)
