brian on Mar 13, 2007 at 2:10:50 AM (# 2) I've never found a good book on active directory. I actually learned most of what I know by using google and also the SDK help for .NET which has a fair amount of information. This site is also is incredibly useful: http://www.computerperformance.co.uk/Logon/LDAP_attributes_active_directory.htm Also have a look at these sites as well, particularly forums: http://www.gotdotnet.com/ www.asp.net http://www.xtremedotnettalk.com/ Finally, read up on the DirectorySearcher and DirectoryEntry classes and google for RootDSE which, ideally, you should use to connect to an AD server. I hope this helps. sgarratt on Apr 9, 2008 at 6:36:25 AM (# 3) This book is superb: The .NET Developer's Guide to Directory Services Programming (Microsoft .NET Development Series) The code is in C# but I've worked in both and the translation is not too tricky.  The book will give you the concepts and Visual Studio/the Help can give you the syntax.
