Hi all, Several of my customers have learned about the new feature of MOSS that includes publishing InfoPath forms to the server and thus allowing users that does not have InfoPath installed to fill in forms with no need for distributing nor purchasing InfoPath for each client. One of the things they all have in common is that they all work in a Microsoft Active Directory environment and wish the form to load Meta data from the current user and to fill in the form with that data. Now, InfoPath and AD does not have a method for creating a direct connection, but since all of our users also utilize the Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) forms server – this means they can take advantage of other features and capabilities of MOSS for this problem.
