This sample uses the LDAP: provider and is suitable for Windows 2000 and later networks running Active Directory. Sample Files ============ * UsersContainer.sln * UsersContainer.vcproj * WkGuid.cpp * makefile * readme.txt 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 UsersContainer.sln. 2. 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 "UsersContainer.exe". You can also run the sample by selecting Execute UsersContainer.exe from the Build menu. Example Output ============== Running the sample produces the following output when run in the Fabrikam.Com domain. This program finds the User's container in the current Window 2000 domain It uses the WKGUID binding string format. ADsPath of Users Container (using WKGUID binding format): LDAP:// Name of Users Container (using WKGUID binding format): Name of Users Container: CN=Users,DC=fabrikam,DC=com How the Sample Works ==================== The sample defines two functions. wmain Initializes, calls the GetWKDomainObject function, and prints out the ADsPath, name in WKGUID format, and common name of the Users container. GetWKDomainObject Gets the specified well-know object for the current domain. You can also use well-known GUIDs to bind to other well-known containers, such as the Computers container. The complete list includes: * GUID_USERS_CONTAINER_W * GUID_COMPUTRS_CONTAINER_W * GUID_SYSTEMS_CONTAINER_W * GUID_DOMAIN_CONTROLLERS_CONTAINER_W * GUID_INFRASTRUCTURE_CONTAINER_W * GUID_DELETED_OBJECTS_CONTAINER_W * GUID_LOSTANDFOUND_CONTAINER_W See Also ======== IADs interface Binding to Well-Known Objects Using WKGUID
