Customer Reviews & Comments
Anyone who wants to include access to the Active Directory / ADAM via the ADSI providers (LDAP, WinNT, IIS, etc) and are finding themselves lost or overwhelmed while sorting thru the .NET environment on their own, need this book. Regardless of your previous experience in scripting or programming with ADSI (including none), this title provides the information you need in a relatively compact manner that brings you up to speed and gets you working productively before you even finish. The book starts off with a quick introduction to ADSI and the .NET framework: light on history, heavy on solidifying the readers understanding of how the .NET framework's Directory Services got where it is. The middle of the book concentrates on explaining the core set of objects needed to bind, read, write, search, etc., spending the right amount of time on each topic with clear language and to-the-point examples. You could actually put the book down at that point with a clear understanding and the ability to perform the needed tasks. The last section of the book takes your skills even further, starting with showing you how to extend the schema, work with security, and manage namespaces. With those sections complete comes complete walk-thrus on practical applications you can develop as well as sections on hints, tips and troubleshooting. Some potential VB readers may be put off by the fact that all the code examples are in C#. As the examples are typically short and dealing with objects, non C# developers shouldn't have any issue translating the code; if all else fails, the author has posted complete VB translations for download. This title proves itself to be not only an efficient learning resource, but also serves as a reference for Directory Services that you will use again and again. The authors have created a book that truly aims at demystifying the process and demonstrating to the reader that the technology is not as convoluted as other ADSI books make it out to be. Even though at the time of this review there are few books dedicated to .NET Directory Services available, this is a must have and will continue to prove its value for quite some time.
