ADSDSOObject is just the provider you use to access a directory service via ADO, and hence one should be able to use the ADO IDispatch interfaces to access the service. What am I missing?

Mike,
This was a bad example because I was looking at the available ADSI objects and I thought this was something else.

A better example for this would be to get a different interface other than the default. If you use GetObject('WinNT://MyDomain/MyComputer'), you will get the IADsComputer interface. The Shutdown method is not available for this interface but it is availbel if you use the IADsComputerOperations interface.

FWIW, I tried specifying the keyword "computeroperations" with MyComputer to get that interface but it threw an Unknown COM status error.
