Look in the default naming context (it's called &quot;Domain&quot; on my DC, but I think I actually named it that). &nbsp;That's where I found it in ADSI Edit.<br />

I'm using python-ldap trying to find department of users based on the uid. However, I was not able to get any results with a filter like: '(&amp;(objectClass=user)(anr=<wbr />&quot;&lt;user_id&gt;<wbr />&quot;))'. I was able to pull department attribute using .net with the above syntax. I tried using ADSI Edit but could not find any department attributes either. Am I searching the wrong Naming Context? The available Naming Context in ADSI Edit were: Configuration, RootDSE, and Schema. None seemed to show department attributes.<br />
<br />
Thanks!

Python is a widely used general-purpose, high-level programming language. Its design philosophy emphasizes code readability, and its syntax allows programmers to express concepts in fewer lines of code than would be possible in other languages. Python supports multiple programming paradigms, including object-oriented, imperative and functional programming or procedural styles. It features a dynamic type system and automatic memory management and has a large and comprehensive set of standard libraries, including NumPy, SciPy, Django, PyQuery, and PyLibrary.
