Summary:
With full examples and coverage of all relevant APIs, ADSI CDO
Programming with ASP shows you how to manage entire networks and
e-mail systems using browser-based interfaces. Early sections explore
the basics of Active Directory Service Interface (ADSI) for managing
directories (including Active Directory and Lightweight Directory
Access Protocol [LDAP] directories) and the Collaboration Data
Objects (CDO) for managing Exchange Server (and other e-mail
systems). Used together, these two APIs can give administrators
control over the entire network. The authors rely on examples to
illustrate how to work with ADSI, while pointing out the VBScript
code required to perform specific tasks (for instance, adding a user
or changing a password). A Rolodex example shows how ADSI manages the
administration of users in Windows NT, while CDO takes care of
mailbox management and distribution lists. A second example allows
the administration of all network resources--whether domains, files,
or e-mail messages--transparently across the network. This "library
project" starts out by explaining how to authenticate users and then
tells you how to build a Web page that can enumerate all the objects
in a network through ADSI/CDO. Subsequent enhancements include the
ability to change and save e-mail messages and to move users,
mailboxes, and messages between computers. Later chapters look at
finding network objects, including searching files and messages. One
example shows how to use the CDO Rendering Library for displaying
calendar information within HTML. Another useful example is a
scheduling application used to book rooms. Final sections discuss
security issues and list all ADSI and CDO objects. In all, this title
is a truly worthy resource for mastering the considerable powers of
ADSI and CDO. --Richard Dragan
