• Microsoft Site Server version 3.0
• Microsoft Site Server version 3.0, Commerce Edition

SUMMARY

You can remove a member by using the following steps:

1. Create a new project - an empty Win32 Console Application.



2. Create a new .cpp file and paste in the following code:




#include <comdef.h>
#include <atlbase.h>
#include <activeds.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>

HRESULT RemoveMember (OLECHAR * strServerName, OLECHAR * strServerPort, 
					  OLECHAR * strOrganization, OLECHAR * strMemberName)
{
	HRESULT			hr = NULL;
	IADsContainer *	pIADsContainer;
	CComBSTR		strPathName;
	CComBSTR		strMemberObjectName;
	CComBSTR		strAdminDN;

	// Create our connection string
	strPathName = OLESTR ("LDAP://");
	strPathName.Append (strServerName);
	strPathName.Append (OLESTR (":"));
	strPathName.Append (strServerPort);
	strPathName.Append (OLESTR ("/o="));
	strPathName.Append (strOrganization);
	strPathName.Append (OLESTR ("/ou=members"));

	// Create our Admin DN based on the organization name
	strAdminDN = OLESTR ("cn=Administrator, ou=members, o=");
	strAdminDN.Append (strOrganization);

	// Connect to the LDAP server using an authenticated bind
	printf ("Binding to LDAP.\n");
	hr = ADsOpenObject (strPathName, strAdminDN, L"password", 0, IID_IADsContainer, (void**)&pIADsContainer);
	if (FAILED (hr)) return (hr);

	// Prepend the member name with "cn="
	strMemberObjectName = OLESTR ("cn=");
	strMemberObjectName.Append (strMemberName);

	// Remove the member
	printf ("Removing the member.\n");
	hr = pIADsContainer->Delete (L"member", strMemberObjectName);
	if (FAILED (hr)) return (hr);

	// Clean up and return
	pIADsContainer->Release ();
	return S_OK;
}

void main (void)
{
	OLECHAR strServerName [100];
	OLECHAR strServerPort [100];
	OLECHAR strOrganization [100];
	OLECHAR strUserName [100];
	char buffer [100];

	CoInitialize (NULL);

	HRESULT hr = NULL;

	printf ("Server Name:\t");
	gets (buffer);
	MultiByteToWideChar (CP_ACP, 0, buffer, -1, strServerName, 100);
	printf ("LDAP Port:\t");
	gets (buffer);
	MultiByteToWideChar (CP_ACP, 0, buffer, -1, strServerPort, 100);
	printf ("Organization:\t");
	gets (buffer);
	MultiByteToWideChar (CP_ACP, 0, buffer, -1, strOrganization, 100);
	printf ("User Name:\t");
	gets (buffer);
	MultiByteToWideChar (CP_ACP, 0, buffer, -1, strUserName, 100);

	printf ("Removing member...\n");
	hr = RemoveMember (strServerName, strServerPort, strOrganization, strUserName);
	if (FAILED (hr)) printf ("Failed to remove member.  Error = %8X\n", hr);
	else printf ("Member removed successfully.\n");

	CoUninitialize ();
}
 

3. Select the Project Settings.



4. From the Link tab, add the Adsiid.lib and Activeds.lib items to the Object/library modules.



5. Compile the code.
