Advanced Directory Services Programming

With "Advanced Microsoft Directory Services Programming," professional developers get the in-depth instruction they need to fully exploit the integrated directory technology in the Microsoft Windows "RM" 2000 operating system.

No broad introduction to Active Directory "TM" service functionality, this guide focuses on building industrial-strength solutions using C++ and the Microsoft Visual C++ "RM" development system.

From basic directory programming concepts and naming conventions, the book quickly progresses to advanced topics -- including creating and extending ADSI providers, security issues, and interoperability with LDAP and Novell Directory Services (NDS).

Throughout, the book focuses on helping readers apply and extend their Win32 "RM" -based COM-level programming expertise to create robust, realworld, Active Directory-enabled solutions.

All the book's sample applications appear on the companion CD-ROM so readers can study and reuse them for their own projects.
