ADSI OLE DB Component Description

The ADSI OLE DB component contains a read-only OLE DB provider for Active Directory Service Interfaces (ADSI). With this provider you can perform searches through ADSI directory providers, such as the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) provider, using OLE DB and Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects (ADO). You can specify your search using an SQL-style query or an LDAP-style query. This component is particularly useful for programmers writing in Microsoft Visual Basic, Scripting Edition (VBScript) or other Automation-compatible languages, because you can make directory queries using the Automation-friendly ADO interfaces without having to use ADSI's vtable-based IDirectorySearch interface.

This OLE DB provider uses the ADSI IDirectorySearch interface to perform queries. Therefore, it is only compatible with ADSI providers that expose this interface. The LDAP and Novell Directory Services (NDS) providers both expose this interface. The Microsoft Windows NT and NetWare Bindery (NWCOMPAT) providers do not expose this interface.

Component Configuration

There are no configuration requirements for this component.
