For automating and programmatically accessing Active Directory (AD), the typical API of choice is Microsoft Active Directory Service Interfaces. ADSI is an easy-to-use, robust interface that lets you easily manipulate objects in AD. When you combine ADSI with ADO for query purposes, you can perform nearly any function necessary to automate AD.

I would have preferred to see an example of GSSAPI and/or full Kerberos authentication in these articles. This content is available to anyone who knows how to type the command "Net::LDAP" from a shell.

I have read through this article, Part 2, and the LDAP Controls article. I am trying to add values to the 'memberOf' attribute of a user's object using the 'modify' method but it keeps giving the error: "0000209A: SvcErr: DSID-031A0983, problem 5003 (WILL_NOT_PERFORM), data 0".

I have been able to successfully 'add' values to the 'member' attribute of a group object using the 'modify' method. I am binding to LDAP with a domain admin user account.
