Hi, [...] > LDAP is hierarchical.
uhm, ok. What I meant was the fact, that I can't get the result of an LDAP query into a hierarchical structure without writing some code. [...] > Please explain what your real problem is, and why you think that > stuffing everything into a nested hash is a solution for it. I want to read parts of the AD configuration partition into such a structure mainly to avoid hundreds of subsequent LDAP queries. I need that to check the complete configuration, where many of the subtrees have dependencies on attributes in other subtrees. To check the configuration for Exchange 2003 in our organisation would mean to make about 4000 LDAP queries. A second goal is to write the result into an HTML file, which should give a look similar to the ADSIEdit tree view for documentation purposes. > > We could switch to german language, if that does not offend the list > subscribers.
