The ADSI Resource Object represents a information describing an open resource on a specific file service. A file service uses various resources to complete a client's requests (files, printers, schedulers, faxes, etc.).
Because ADSI Resource Objects are managed through the IADsCollection interface on a collection object, they do not have a parent container.
Providers dynamically create ADSI Resource Objects as needed during the processing of file service requests. Although these objects have an ADsPath property supported on their IADs interface, the contents of the property may not be used to instantiate the resource object.
| Interfaces typically supported on ADSI Resource Object | Description |
|---|---|
| IUnknown | Universal COM object management and interface query methods. |
| IDispatch | Automation methods for late-bound access to an object's methods and properties. |
| IADs | Standard Active Directory object management methods. |
| IADsResource | Management methods for a resource object and its persistent properties. |
