Question

'get list of all users on domain

     Dim de As New DirectoryEntry()
     de.Path = "WinNT://Domain.mydomain/JohnDoe2-1"
     For Each d As DirectoryEntry In de.Children()
        Console.WriteLine(d.Name)
        Console.ReadLine()
    Next

When I run WintNT://Domain.mydomain it lists the users on the domain.
When I run it with /JOhnDoe2-1 I get a list of something. Are these files and is there a way to expand to search within them?

Any hints toward searching domain users for a specific file would be helpful.
Thanks folks

Answer 1

What that returns depends on what JohnDoe2-1 is… is it a user? a computer name? something else? We don’t know…
