Chapter 8. Active Directory Scripting Interface (ADSI)

ROAD MAP

• ADSI can manage workgroups, computers, NT domains, Active Directory domains, and Novell networks, as well as IIS and Exchange.

• Although no single chapter can completely dissect the topic, this chapter will help you get your foot in the door.

• You should be very familiar with the material in Chapter 3, “Scripting and Objects,” and Chapter 4, “File and Registry Access,” before reading this chapter.

• If you want to write scripts to manage Active Directory, you'll need a strong background in LDAP syntax.
