Manage Active Directory

Got Directory Services? Check-out this artical in next months MSDN Magazine.

New Ways to Manage Active Directory using the .NET Framework 2.0

  • Enhancements in the System.DirectoryServices namespace
  • Using the InvokeSet and InvokeGet methods to manage ADSI properties
  • Reading and writing Active Directory security descriptors
  • Using extended search capabilities in Active Directory

    As more and more large enterprises use Active Directory, Microsoft has been investing time and effort to make it simpler to install, deploy, and manage. Devs will see enhancements to the System.DirectoryServices namespace in the NET Framework 2.0. In addition, Microsoft has added two new namespaces under System.DirectoryServices:ActiveDirectory , which provides Active Directory management, and Protocols, which lets you work with the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) 3.0 and Directory Services Markup Language (DSML) 2.0 standards. Just as in the .NET Framework 1.x, System.DirectoryServices is a managed code layer on top of Active Directory Service Interfaces (ADSI). Note that only some of the classes in the ActiveDirectory namespace and none of the Protocols namespace rely on the ADSI layer. When you needed to get to an ADSI interface that wasn't available from managed code, the simplest approach was to use COM interop. In the Microsoft® .NET Framework 2.0, the need to use COM interop is significantly reduced. This article explores a number of these improvements in managed code, from calling ADSI properties, to interacting with security descriptors, and finally through using some powerful extended search capabilities. Welcome InvokeGet and InvokeSet

    Digital Domain

    Digital Domain: Is Mark Cuban Missing the Big Picture?  A particularly viscous article in the Sunday NYTimes under the classification of Digital Domain, but this British hack journalist is strangely sentimental towards legacy film rather then the bits and bites of our digital times.

    My old pal Marc Cuban is a blog maverick as well as the ower of the Dallas Mavericks and bloggers are part of the digital domain so he got to publish his rebuttal to the NYTimes before the paper hit the streets.

    The problem in Hollywood today is bad movies created by greedy Corporations completely lacking in creativity .

    King Kong is a classic, why did it have to be remade a third time? Imagination can not be outsourced, regulated or confined. Creative people need the freedom to express themselves and tell the stories of their dreams and digital media is enabling a rebirth of creative expression.
