Question

I have read the following properties from AD,

TerminalServicesProfilePath TerminalServicesHomeDirectory TerminalServicesHomeDrive 

I’ve tried DirectoryEntry and DirectorySearcher. But they does not include the properties.

I found some example in vbscript and VC to read them. However I failed to make it working in C#. Am I missing some tricky thing?

EDIT: Am I have to run it on ‘Windows Server’ to make it works? Can it be read from win XP?

Answer 1

I don’t remember exactly, but it’s something like this:

//user is a DirectoryEntry IADsTSUserEx adsiUser = (IADsTSUserEx)user.NativeObject;  

then you can get the TerminalServices properties you want via adsiUser.

From my experience you’re better off developing on a Windows Server with access to AD due to the libraries you use. Then you’ll probably make the above work, too 🙂
