Customer Reviews

Well done.

If you need to learn ADSI fast and to implement it fast and with a good understanding, You're in the right place. Mr. Robinson as usual by the way, is a fun writer simply take the advantage on that and don't waste your time in MSDN as i did. I said to myself OK that shouldn't be that complicated it is just an Interface to tree... Well it is just an interface but now i understand how it works. I also like the mix and much of VB and C which gives one a good understanding of COM's back house work.

Excellent Learning Book

I first read this book to teach myself ADSI and the book really covers all the topics required to writte an application related to Active Directory (What I did using VB). You certainly can expect to cut and paste coding examples into your own application but all the requirements from a sound understanding are there. In summary I found the book very usefull and it is a musst to understand all the piece of code that you could find around.

BUY THIS BOOK!

This is an excellent book for administrators who are trying to learn how to program using ADSI. There are lots of great examples and the author's writing is easy to read. It also contains many other useful details on Windows 2000. You can expect to go from nothing to being able to code up some meaningful programs after you read this one. If the ADSI documentation in MSDN leaves you wondering what the heck is going on then this is your book! I continue to reference the book and it will be well worn before I move on... Well done Simon!

The ADSI Bible!

If you are programming directory-enabled applications/COM+ objects, this book is your salvation. Robinson makes it easy to learn the basics about directories, and what they can do for you. It has a lot of great information on how to program the Active Directory in Win2k, as well as IIS and Windows NT. If you need to use ADSI, you need this book. Well done.
