RE: [ActiveDir] LDAP filters

[Michael B. Smith]

... Something that is necessary for almost every one of these tools is an LDAP query. Active Directory is an LDAP-based directory (LDAP stands for Lightweight Directory Access Protocol). The queries are based on RFC-2254, “The String Representation of LDAP Search Filters” (available at http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2254.html). A very basic introduction to LDAP can be had in Microsoft KB 196455 (Introduction to Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)). LDAP queries can be very simple (e.g., “(objectCategory=*)”—which will serve to select every object in Active Directory) or very complex (as shown by the queries in Chapter 4). The Understanding LDAP white-paper available from Microsoft at http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techinfo/howitworks/activedirectory/ldap.asp provides quite a few examples of LDAP queries.
