| Platform SDK: Active Directory, ADSI, and Directory Services |
The IADsMembers interface is designed for managing a list of ADSI object references. It is implemented to support group membership for individual accounts. It can be used to manage a collection of ADSI objects belonging to a group. To access the collection of group members, use the IADsGroup::get_Members property method implemented by the ADSI group object.
The IADsMembers interface serves a slightly different purpose from the IADsCollection and IADsContainer interfaces, which also works with a set of data or objects. IADsCollection manages sets of arbitrary data elements that are not object references, whereas IADsContainer manages objects that are part of the directory tree structure or the network topology.
IADsMembers is a dual interface. It exposes the following property methods.
