Get the MEMBERS of an ACTIVE DIRECTORY GROUP, and LIST the FULL NAMES and USERNAMES
Technologies: Windows Server 2003, Active Directory, Visual Basic .NET 2005, .NET Framework 2.0
I am writing an application that unlocks user accounts and resets their passwords. Performing those actions isn't a problem. However, to make the process more user-friendly, I am adding a drop-down box of users that can be used to find the user to unlock/change password.
The DropDown Box should show a list of the Full Names (John Doe, John Smith etc) of all the users of a Domain Group, but the actual values of the entries should be the logon name in Active Directory (john.doe, john.smith etc).
I want some way to connect to Active Directory, find the group (it is NOT Domain Users), list the members of the group (list both their Full Name and their username/logon name), and populate the Text & Value properties of the DropDown Box items with the entries from Active Directory.
Connecting to active directory is fine, as is databinding the DropDown Box, I basically just need to get a table with two columns, Username and Fullname, of all the members of a specified group.
Thanks in advance!
