The IADsComputer interface enables a COM object in Active Directory to manage the information representing a computer (server, client, workstation, etc.) on a network.
Properties accessed by IADsComputer are defined on the ADSI Computer Object.
Implement IADsComputer only when you are providing an Active Directory implementation for your directory service.
Call the methods on this interface when you are referencing the information describing the physical computer or its network addresses.
