The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Enumerate Nested Users via LDAP ADSI- Can be VB

Asked by sbdunn in Windows 2000 Operating System

Tags: enumerate, nested, adsi, ldap, groups

I am trying to build a group access report.  You can assume that the starting group ADSI path is passed into a ASP page.  I need to take that AD group, look at all the nested users and groups and build a report with all users and the containers (nested groups) that they have access to.  So I want a complete view of every user that has access to the group (like the adminstrators group) listed on one report and not have to manually look in each nested group to see who is there.  For the example below:   Domain2\Enterprise Admins and Domain1\Domain Admins are nested in Domain1\Administrators.

UserName    Fullname   Description    Group Name
--------         --------     -----------       ---------------
user1        Jones,Bob  CA User            Domain1\Administrators
user2        Hots,Bob    NC User            Domain1\Domain Admins
user3        Tots,Bob    SC User            Domain1\Domain Admins
user4          Otts,Deb    US Field        Domain2\Enterprise Admins
4 Users found

So a group can potentially have multiple nestings (like Domain2\Enterprise Admins could have groups nested in it too) and I need the logic to be able to go as deep as it needs to back out all the users from each nested group.  That is what makes this one so much fun :)  This can be done in VB or VBscript.  Would like it sorted by the Group Name columns if possible and show the same user again and again if they are members of multiple nested groups.  Should be able to handle hundreds of entries, but I won't be running it on the Domain Users group of course.
