Hello,

Is there a way to retrieve the info of a user (or computer) from the AD as
specified in AD users and Computers Properties using MMC. Especially the
fields specified under tabs: General; Address; Account; Profile; Telephones
and Organization.
This because we are currently maintaining this information on two separate
locations. In the AD and a SQLServer table used for internal purposes, which
is accessed by a small program I wrote to retrieve information of a user (ie
Home Address, Phonenumbers, Working days/hours, Birthday etc).

Thanks,

Bart

Yes, it is possible using ADSI. The following should get you started:

If you have more specific questions you may want to post a follow-up.
