// ADSIDump VC Sample: ADSI Dump of ADsPath
//
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description
===========
The ADSIDump sample traverses the Active Directory tree and dumps a listing
of all objects and their attributes for the specified ADsPath to a file.
Sample Files
============
* ADSIDump.cpp
* ADSIDump.sln
* ADSIDump.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 ADSIDump.sln.
2. From the Build menu, select Build.
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
ADSIDump <ADsPath> <file_name>
where
ADsPath specifies an LDAP binding string.
file_name specifies a file to which to print the results.
Example Output
==============
Entering the command
ADSIDump CN=Administrator,CN=Users,DC=Fabrikam,DC=Com
in the Fabrikam.Com domain produces output similar to the following
(much of the output is deleted to save space).
=======================================================
*** CN=Administrator ***

How the Sample Works
====================
The sample uses the selected ADsPath to bind to Active Directory and then,
starting at the selected object, it traverses the directory tree, printing
each object and its attributes to the specified file.
