DSbrowse: Sample for Viewing Directory Services

Click to open or copy the files for the DSbrowse sample.

It is recommended that you download this sample from (SampApp).

This sample demonstrates how VB application developers can quickly and easily put together utilities for viewing and managing Directory Services.

DSBrowse can enumerate through multiple namespaces (each corresponding to a Directory Service).  For each object found in a Directory Service hierarchy, it  provides a brief description of the object. Double-clicking on an object (container) will result in enumerating objects within that container.

DSBrowse reads and writes properties on the DS object. Clicking on the Properties button allows you to display the properties of an object. You can select a specific property and update it by clicking the Set button.

You must have Microsoft Visual Basic 4.0a Professional or Enterprise Edition installed on your machine. Microsoft Visual Basic 4.0a Professional or Enterprise Edition is available only on x86 platforms.
