Get Active Directory Object Type Messages   Related Types This message was discovered on microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb. Post a new message to this list... Alex Dear all I hope you might help me. Here my issue: I am using the following vb.net code to receive members from a windows 2000 active directory group: objecttolook = "group" objlook = "member" Dim root As New System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry(objpath) Dim inmembers As PropertyCollection = root.Properties etc. The Problem is now that this group could contain either users, workstation account or other nested groups. How can I now determin what kind of object do this group contain. I can read out the members but I don't know what time they are. The idee is to call the function iterativ if if the member is a group. Hope somebody may gve me an idea. Thanks Alex Reply to this message...        Shiva You may use the objectCategory property to identify the individual object type. If (DirectoryEntry.Properties("objectCategory")(0) = "group") Then 'Call recursively Other possible values are: DirectoryEntry.Properties("objectCategory")(0) = "user" DirectoryEntry.Properties("objectCategory")(0) = "computer" .... etc Hope this helps.
