Database design/schema to represent Active Directory objects (users, groups, computers etc)

Asked by ajbritton in Databases Miscellaneous, Microsoft Access Database, Active Directory

I am trying to create a database design that can represent the objects in active directory and their relationshipds. I need to record the following information;

1 - User account details
2 - Group account details
3 - Computer account details

I need to be able to query the DB to discover which groups a user or computer belongs to and this should take account of any group nesting. I also need to do the revers to discover everyone who belongs to a particular group. The final requirement is to take account of special groups like 'Everyone' and 'Authenticate Users' to which all users in AD belong by implication.Start Free Trial
