I’m working in an Environment where there are non-Microsoft LDAP servers. What is the recommended way of quering these?

I’m using something like this:

$server = ‘myserver.com:1234’
$path = ‘ou=Customers,o=myserver.com’
$DN = "LDAP://$server/$path"

$filter = ‘(objectClass=myClass)’

$auth = [System.DirectoryServices.AuthenticationTypes]::FastBind
$Domain = New-Object System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry($DN,$user,$password,$auth)

$Searcher = New-Object System.DirectoryServices.DirectorySearcher
$Searcher.SearchRoot = $Domain
#$Searcher.PageSize = 1000
$Searcher.Filter = $Filter
$Searcher.SearchScope = ‘Subtree’

$Proplist = ‘name’, ‘description’

foreach ($i in $PropList){$Searcher.PropertiesToLoad.Add($i)}


$Results = $Searcher.FindAll()

Is this a "good" way to do it or are there better/easier ways? Being neither an expert in LDAP or PowerShell I could probably make this better!

That is a good a method as any as far as I’m concerned.

I would agree with Jeff

if you are accessing non-Microsoft LDAP you need to specify the additional info

Joakim, wondering if you were able to get your script to work correctly? I’ve modified it slightly for my ldap directory but the filter and properties values aren’t being handled correctly. Thanks! Wes
