Active Directory groups have a ‘Notes’ property available through the interface (see image below)
Is it possible to retrieve this information in C#?
I can’t seem to find the property that holds it. I’ve tried using the System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry and System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.GroupPrincipal objects but none of them seem to have it.
There is a property called
infowhich holds the information shown within this field. But it will only be added to the AD object if a value is available.If you like to see all elements that have a text within this field. Simply open the AD Browser (
start dsa.msc) and open a new search. Change the selection within the “Find” combobox toCustom Search, click onAdvancedand enter the textinfo=*. Now you’ll get back a list of all elements which having this field.
