Re: DirectoryService and get all groups

Thank you Mark and Joe for the replies. It did help. I still cannot find the
information about the properties of the group objectCategory. You have given
me information on the name and groupType property. I was wondering if there
is a link to some information about group category and the other categories
of AD.

Thanks for the examples I now have a list of the names of the groups (Code
below). I was wondering if there is some information about what the
Properties of the group. I looked in the "About Active Directory" section of
the MSDN library but there is no properties section for the group class in
the "Active Directory Schema" section. I am probably looking in the wrong
place.
I find a lot of groups in with this code and what I would like to do is know
if these groups are built in or created by the system administraor. I only
want the groups that are created by the adminstrator to manage users and not
the ones that are used by the system like printoperator and so on.

Dim strDomPath As String =
"LDAP://cd2k3domtest/DC=CDTESTDOM,DC=atestsys,DC=com";
Dim dirEnt As New DirectoryEntry(strDomPath)
Dim dsGroups As New DirectorySearcher(dirEnt,
"(objectCategory=group)")
Dim srGroupsCol As SearchResultCollection = dsGroups.FindAll()
Dim srGroups As SearchResult
For Each srGroups In srGroupsCol
Dim ss As String
ss = srGroups.Properties("name").Item(0).ToString
Next


Thank all of you for your help.
