Getting the LogonName using ADSI I was working on a task to read user information from Active directory - such as Logon name, first name, last name, email, phone  e.t.c using ADSI in VC++. By using the IAdsUser Interface we get most of the user properties. Its simple. But I could not find a way to get the logon name form the IAdsUser Interface.  After hours of research I find out, a way to get logon name pAdsUser->Get("sAMAccountName", bstrLogonName) you get the Logon name. I felt this could have been documented well in MSDN, which could have saved many hours for the new users. 4:32:51 PM   comment_[] New URL for my blog. Don's days of emacs blogging are behind him...

[sellsbrothers.com: Windows Developer News] Facinating indeed! When I think about how we run this company on only four developers and the challenges we face with versioning and source control, I can't even begin to imagine what working with 4999 other developers must be like. Of course in a larger company you actually have people whose role it is to manage these things, as opposed to here where I'll kinda define a standard and we all try and follow it. ;) Anyway, check out the article, definitely a good read. Oh, and if you've never read Show-Stopper!, I suggest checking that out as well. [Drew's Blog] 4:18:58 PM   comment_[]
