Hi All,

   Is the directory service only retrieve the active directory information
of those Windows 2000 Server or Windows 2003 Server which installed Active
Directory?  Actually, I am using Window 2000 Professional and I am going to
retrieve the user list in my local machine.  I am successfully retrieve it
by using ADSI but when I use VS.NET Directory Service, exception is thrown.
I want to verify whether the directory service can be used in retrieving
those servers installed active directory only or not.

   Thank you very much

Gary

DirectoryServices are wrappers around the ADSI client library (activeds.dll), so both are functionaly equivalent.
Note that you can/should use the LDAP provider interface when binding to an AD o W2K or W2K3, when binding to a local machine you
can only use the WinNT provider.

Please post your failing code.

Willy.
