Simple way to test out your LDAP queries without Visual Studio

by michaellotter 1. November 2007 08:45

The other day my current client gave me a new form and workflow to build and this from was going to require me to build a new LDAP query for retrieving information.  At this point I've done about 10 different queries and the majority of the code is already done but the actual "Filter" needs to be created and I always have dreaded this part because I never found a good way to test out the filter (query) until yesterday. I was out on Google searching for something and I came across this Exchange article and it showed me how to test out my queries on AD before adding it to my C# code.  This method is going to save me so much time in the future I just wanted to share it.  The "Where Can You Use LDAP Queries?" section has "Doing a Search Using Active Directory Users and Computers" section and it shows you how to use the "Find" function from "Active Directory Users and Computers" to test queries.

Cheers
