Vb and Active Directory

[Ty]

Hello,

I have a program that pulls all our PC names out of AD. I was
wondering is it possible to search for a user on the domain and get
the PC they are currently logged into?

I am creating a intranet one way message app that will be used by my
self and the other tech people to send messages to users. I am using a
server client model and the client software will only be a listen and
display mode while the sever will be a sender. The app functions fine
I was just thinking that it would be nice to add the search function
as our organization uses generic department names for the PCs.

Thanks,
Ty

If you're not serious about rolling your own - turn on the Windows Messenger
service.  Then you can use Net Send <user> Message.

Mike,
Not sure about your comment as I am rolling my own and it functions
fine. I was just looking at adding the ability to get the name of a PC
the user is log into from AD and wondering if that information is
avaliable from AD.

Ty,

There are several ways to access the Active Directory with VB.

Be aware that there is changing a lot in this area, as there was in past
only the old LDAP
