This sample uses the LDAP: provider and is suitable for Windows 2000 and later networks running Active Directory. Sample Files ============ * makefile * Search.cpp * Search.sln * Search.vcproj * StdAfx.cpp * StdAfx.h Building the Sample =================== When you build this sample using Visual Studio, be sure that you have the INCLUDE directory for the Platform SDK set first in the Options list of include files. To build this sample 1. Open the solution Search.sln. 2. Open the source file Search.Cpp. 3. Replace the domain name with an existing one, such as "DC=Fabrikam, DC=Com" in the following line. hr = ADsGetObject(L"LDAP://DC=testDom1,DC=testDom2, \ DC=microsoft,DC=com", \ IID_IDirectorySearch, \ (void**) &pSearch ); 4. From the Build menu, select Build. You can also build this sample at a command prompt using the supplied makefile. Running the Sample ================== To run this sample 1. Open a command prompt and change to the directory where you built the sample. 2. Type the command "Search.exe". You can also run the sample by selecting Execute Search.exe from the Build menu.
