Open ASP.NET Web project. And add this dll to your project.
Step #4: Put the following code in PageLoad
Code for getting all users from domain
try
{
DirectorySearcher searcher=new DirectorySearcher();
string rootDSE=searcher.SearchRoot.Path;
DirectoryEntry entry = new DirectoryEntry(rootDSE); //eg: Default Domain
DirectorySearcher dirSearcher = new DirectorySearcher(entry);
dirSearcher.Filter = "(&(objectClass=user))";
dirSearcher.SearchScope=SearchScope.Subtree;
dirSearcher.Sort.Direction=System.DirectoryServices.SortDirection.Ascending;
dirSearcher.Sort.PropertyName="cn";
ArrayList domainMembers = new ArrayList();
//Finding all users.
foreach(SearchResult result in dirSearcher.FindAll())
{
try
{
string strUserInfo = string.Empty;
DirectoryEntry de=result.GetDirectoryEntry();
if(de.Properties.Contains("sAMAccountName"))
strUserInfo = de.Properties["sAMAccountName"].Value.ToString();
domainMembers.Add(strUserInfo);
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
}
}
DataGrid1.DataSource = domainMembers;
DataGrid1.DataBind();
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
}
You might get the following errors.
- An operations error occurred
- The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted
