Using ADSI, LDAP, and Network Management Functions With Active Directory. Microsoft Corporation February 2002 Summary: This white paper discusses how ADSI, LDAP, and Network Management Functions are used with Active Directory, and describes various good programming practices that will help you use these API elements efficiently. (13 printed pages) Contents Introduction Using Good Programming Practices with ADSI Using Good Programming Practices with LDAP Using Good Programming Practices with NETAPI Introduction Several application programming interfaces (APIs) exist for building applications for the Microsoft® Active Directory® directory service including: Active Directory Service Interfaces (ADSI), Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), and Network Management Functions (NETAPI).
Regardless of which API you use, incorporating good programming practices for the chosen API improves the application. This paper assumes that you are familiar with building applications for Active Directory. Using Good Programming Practices with ADSI Reduce the Number of Binds. Creating More Efficient Microsoft Active Directory-Enabled Applications. Microsoft Corporation November 2001 Summary: This article discusses how to create efficient queries, determine query timing, and track expensive and inefficient searches using Microsoft Active Directory. (23 printed pages) Application developers who want to allow the most efficient use of the Microsoft® Active Directory™ directory service in their applications will want to consider the following issues, which are discussed in this paper: The Microsoft Visual C++® and Microsoft Visual Basic® code examples assume that you are familiar with the following technology, utility, APIs and process: Active Directory LDP Utility Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) Active Directory Service Interfaces (ADSI) Building directory queries For more information about developing applications with Active Directory, visit Active Directory Developer Resources.
