    ISO 3166 Country Codes

    Seems to be standard ISO 3166 country codes used in several places.

    Same result from this post here: Active Directory and .NET

    Point 5 reads:

    5. Set user’s country

    To set the country property for a user
    was one of the tasks that took me some
    time to figure out. After some hours
    of research I realized that you need
    to know the ISO 3166 Codes for
    countries and set three properties to
    define a user’s country: c, co, and
    countryCode.

    Best overview that includes the elusive ISO 3166 numeric codes can be found on Wikipedia – of course! (at ISO itself, you can’t seem to get those lists for free – you have to pay for the privilege….)
