Microsoft® Active Directory Service Interfaces version 2.5 (ADSI) should be used only where the Novell Directory Service (NDS) provider is required. For all other environments, use the updated Active Directory Client Extensions (DSClient) or the ADSI system component that is integrated with the Windows 2000 and Windows XP operating systems. For more information on the Active Directory Client Extensions (DSClient) see the market bulletin: Active Directory Client Extensions for Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows NT Workstation 4.0.
There will be no updates to ADSI 2.5 and Microsoft support is limited. For more information see the Microsoft Knowledge Base article (Q289105).
This release of Microsoft® Active Directory Service Interfaces version 2.5
(ADSI) enables developers to create directory management
applications using high-level tools such as Microsoft Visual
Basic®, Java, or C/C++. ADSI
frees developers from having to worry about the underlying
differences between the different namespaces used by various
directory protocols, such as Lightweight Directory Access Protocol
(LDAP), Windows NT Server 4.0 Directory Services, the NetWare
bindery, Novell Directory Service (NDS), and Active Directory.
ADSI 2.5 includes providers - objects that interface between the client and server portions of the directory service. Developers or administrators can write scripts or applications that include these providers.
For more information, please view the current ADSI documentation.
System Requirements
